The prominent contradiction between supply and demand of conventional railways has existed for a long time, especially during the Spring Festival, when the number of passenger trains increases greatly, which brings huge pressure to freight transportation. The influence on the prominent contradiction of mixed passenger and freight transportation due to temporary passenger train operation, adverse weather condition, and socioeconomic environment during the Spring Festival are analyzed in this paper, and some measures that can alleviate the contradiction are put forward, such as optimizing locomotive and crew operation, reinforcing marshalling station operation organization, optimizing unloading operation, and so on.
