The station is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Henan and Shanxi provinces, which is also the intersection of the Longhai and Tongpu railroads, and the foot of Mount Huashan in the western mountain range. At the foot of the mountain. In the era of underdeveloped highways, small network coverage, and no high-speed rail, the choice of train to the Meng Plateau or Huashan Station is the preferred mode of transportation for Huashan tourism.
The station is directly under the railroad branch, in addition to the Mengluo station, it also manages three stations of Tongguan, Gongzhuang, and Harbor, with more than six hundred employees, and more than a dozen large and small railroad units in the station area, such as engineering, mechanical, electrical, vehicular, water and electricity, power supply, communication, construction, apartments, Tiezhong (Tiehong), hospitals, police stations, clubs, etc., and overhaul factories of China Railway Bureau, as well as units along the line, some employees also live in the station, the whole of which is located at the station.

Just divided into the station monthly internship wages The first time I saw the movie, I was in the middle of the movie, and I was in the middle of the movie, and I was in the middle of the movie, and I was in the middle of the movie, and I was in the middle of the movie. At that time, I felt that the railroad salary is about the same, than in the township government to work in the brother's salary is higher. Here, I slowly also know the Tongguan gold mine, I heard that in those years the station a lot of people due to mining gold made a lot of money, but also some people due to mining caused some trouble. There are a lot of people transporting goods and dumping tickets here at the station. The station where a little "authority", in the eyes of our young people are very powerful. One year, one of my classmates to return home, trust the leadership to the passenger transport management plan said, from the exit of the west side of the planning window to ask for a sleeper ticket number, that is, oil-printed tickets, there is a number of cars above, store number, date, the planner with her personal name of the station name stamp can be stamped, with the number of tickets and then buy a ticket, it is really bad, a little cattle.
There are no big restaurants around the station, but the Jianhua braised cakes on the slope and the old yellow pig's feet by the square are the most famous ones in front of us. Jianhua braised cake is different from the Tongguan braised cake as well as put vermicelli, tofu, etc., directly with large oil fried shredded meat, green onions, etc., soup is less, large oil is heavier, and then put some parsley, eat up very fragrant. The old yellow pig's feet is the station a retired deputy stationmaster opened, his children are now Xi'an, Huayin also opened a few stores, to talk about the head store or the old yellow pig's feet origin, should also be the Meng loess plateau train station it ......
That time, here units more, parking more, more travelers, busy business, led to a large area around the station, a red hot, bustling small society, and the station is a very busy place, and it's a good place.
In April 1997, the station was renamed Huashan. More than twenty years later, in August 2021, the station was restored to its original name of Meng Plateau Station. During this period, the whole society has undergone radical changes, and the railroad has also undergone great changes.
