Villagers in Wumeng Mountains make vegetable sales with help of historic trains

The train stations passed on the route are mostly set in the deep mountainous areas along the line. The train also provides opportunities for villagers to do business, like selling vegetables.

"Every household in the village grows vegetables, so we don't have to buy ours. So we have to find a bigger market." Li Wenrong, a local villager, told China News Service that residents are more inclined to take the green-skinned trains than try to sell their vegetables locally. The train transported the vegetables to Tongzi county in Guizhou, 33 kilometers away, where they were sold. "There are a lot of people in the county, and they have regular customers. They just like our fresh vegetables."
