Baiyinhua–Xinqiu railway
The Baiyinhua–Xinqiu railway is a railway line in China. It is 487.6 kilometres (303.0 mi) long and was built primarily for coal transportation.[1][2]
The north-western terminus of the line is Baiyinhua, where the line splits from the Xilinhot–Ulanhot railway. The south-eastern terminus is Xinqiu District where it meets the Xinlitun–Yixian railway.
History
[edit]Construction on the line began in November 2007.[1] The line was funded at least partially through private funds, though the project met financial problems causing it to miss its target completion date of August 2010.[2] Although the railway ended at Xinqiu District, it was not connected to the national railway network. On 30 November 2017, a new connecting line was opened, connecting the southern end of the railway to the national railway network at Xinqiu railway station.[3]
