Early in the morning, he left the city center and followed Provincial Road 311 north to the city outskirts, a few kilometers, and arrived at the Chengdu-Kunming Railway Lu Fu Station.

Chengdu-Kunming Railway Lu Fu Station
Chengdu-Kunming Railway Lu Fu Station, built in 1966, is currently a fourth-class station located north of Jinshan Town, Lu Fu County. Calculated according to the Chengdu-Kunming Railway line, it is 111 kilometers from Kunming Station and is administered by the Kunming Bureau of China Railway. Since the opening of the Chengdu-Kunming Railway at Lu Fu Station, it has been operating for nearly 50 years. When catching a train at Lu Fu Station, it was once a familiar scene for many generations of Lu Fu people.

On January 16, 2014, as part of the Chengdu-Guotong Chengdu-Kunming Railway duplication, the Kunming-Guotong Kunming-Guotong Railway officially opened. The newly built Lu Fu South Station was also officially opened as part of the Kunming-Guotong line.
2014 April 1st, the Chengdu-Kunming Railway old line at Lu Fu Station, its passenger business, after running for more than 40 years, was transferred to Lu Fu South Station. Lu Fu Station only handles freight business. Regarding Lu Fu South Station, Tax can discuss it in previous posts.

At a mixed freight store next to Lu Fu Station, Tax can bought a bottle of beverage and chatted with several elderly people. When talking about Lu Fu Station, the elderly people were deeply moved. Their homes were located near the station, and they started taking trains here in their youth, going as far as Kunming, and as far as Chengdu and Beijing. They were very familiar with every plant and tree in the station. Back then, the station was bustling with people every day. Since the passenger trains stopped running, it gradually became quiet. The former busy scene remained in their memories (Author: Tax can, male, writer, journalist)
