Features: Safety is the lifeblood of railway transport, and the locomotive crew position is at the forefront of ensuring railway transport safety. According to the "Three-Factor Theory of Accidents" proposed by the renowned Japanese industrial safety expert, Professor Mitsuo Nagamachi, any accident has three potential risk factors: first, mechanical and environmental factors; second, management factors; and third, human factors. When these three risk factors combine at a specific moment and location, an accident occurs. Currently, the hardware safeguards for railway transport safety are becoming increasingly mature, and the operating environment is continuously improving. Driven by the market and the acceleration of train speeds, the railway industry is entering a critical strategic period of leapfrog development. The Ministry of Railways has long emphasized "grassroots, foundation, and basic skills," putting in hard work on "management and human factors," which is the essential requirement of the objective laws governing railway transport safety management. The "Three Basics" issue is essentially the scientificity, practicality, and implementation of basic rule systems. Rules are the foundation for ensuring transport safety. This book primarily introduces practical rules for locomotive crews and locomotive crew operation manuals, including: technical equipment, train operation organization, signal displays, and accessories.
