Guardians of the railway freight trains

Spring Festival holds great significance for Chinese people, symbolizing a special time for family reunions. As Chinese New Year approaches, a dedicated group of people contribute immensely to serving the greater good — working tirelessly on the frontlines of the railway freight sector.

In order to ensure that goods passing through the Harbin depot reach their destinations safely, freight train maintenance workers from China Railway Harbin Group Co Ltd, like Li Tao, crisscross the tracks, thoroughly checking every part of each freight car.

In 2024, the station saw over 190,000 freight trains passing through, a staff member of the station told China Daily website.
