In the 1990s, "Passengers First, Satisfaction First" continued the honor of the Red Flag Train. Since 2000, the service concept of "safe and warm, full of love" has made the service concept more and more close to the needs of passengers, serving passengers traveling from south to north, using hard work to hold up the Red Flag Train trophy 32 times, and has won the National Workers' Pioneer Award. , National Civilized Unit, National Advanced Railway Collective, National Women Model Post and other honors.

Behind all the honors, of course, it is inseparable from the hard work and dedication of all the staff of the Beijing Fleet's "Tianshan Snow Lotus" train. Over the past 50 years, they have always kept in mind the service tenet of "People's Railway for the People", thought about what passengers think and worry about their needs, kept pace with the times, constantly innovated and improved convenient service methods and facilities, and wrote a "cleaner than home" The most beautiful chapters such as "Toilet", "Delicacy more exquisite than a restaurant", "Service more enthusiastic than a hotel", these touching moments all reflect the railway department's commitment to pursuing the needs of new passengers in the new era, making passengers feel like family Determination of warmth and care.

"To build a strong transportation country, railways take the lead" is not a simple slogan or slogan. Following the rapid development of railways, we have to ask, are railways good? Every passenger is the best witness and spokesperson. In the historical photo album, the sweet smiles, touching photos, warm scenes, and heartfelt thanks are the best compliments from tourists of all ethnic groups across the country to the 50th anniversary of the Beijing fleet "Tianshan Snow Lotus" and blessings.
