银川至太原高铁开始规划了
China Yinchuan(Ningxia Province Capital) to Taiyuan (Shanxi Province Capital)high-speed rail began planning
Yinchuan News 2018-11-01 00:00:00

On December 22 last year, the “Implementation Plan for the Construction of Yinchuan Metropolitan Area” (hereinafter referred to as the “Program”) was officially released, and the Yinchuan Metropolitan Circle, which was built with Yinchuan as the core and radiated to drive the Shizuishan, Wuzhong and Ningdong bases, was formed. The same city effect and overall advantages will drive the development along the Yellow Eco-economic Belt and enhance the overall competitiveness of the region.

On the morning of October 31, at the construction site of Yinchuan Lake-Shahu Tourism Fast Track Project, Zhu Guanglie, senior engineer of Yinchuan Municipal Transportation Bureau, introduced that the project, as one of the transportation infrastructure projects of Yinchuan Metropolitan Area, has completed 30%. , enter the preparation stage of pavement laying.

Yuehai Lake-Shahu Tourism Fast Track

A road leads to Shizuishan

Zhu Guanglie, senior engineer of the Yinchuan Municipal Transportation Bureau, said, "With the project of the Yuehai Lake-Shahu Tourism Fast Track, after the completion of the project, the distance between the two cities of Yinchuan and Shizuishan can be drawn through a road. The tourism resources are fully utilized to drive the development of the industry.

In addition, it is also a landscape avenue. The main road along the road is set up as two-way two-lane. There are green belts on both sides of the main road. There is a bicycle lane in the middle of the green belt. There will also be 12 viewing platforms and parking lots along the way.

Zhu Guanglie told reporters that the project also connected the waterways of the two places. After the completion of the project, in addition to choosing to drive and ride, the public can also raft on the clear stream.

"This development concept is not only reflected in the construction of this road, but also the other road projects have their own advantages and strengths, and Yinchuan and other cities are closely linked, such as Yongning to Qingtongxia Expressway, and started in May 2018. Linghu Road and Lingbai Road will become the main thoroughfare for Lingwu to connect Wuzhong and Qingtongxia, and make the tourism and other industries and projects in the Yinchuan metropolitan area interconnected," said Zhu Guanglie.

Three passenger hubs

Create a seamlessly connected transportation system

According to Li Wei, deputy director of the Yinchuan Municipal Transportation Bureau, according to the planning of the “Yinheng 19th Hengyang” road network in Yinchuan, the transportation system that the citizens can travel seamlessly will be realized in the future.

Among the 11 transportation infrastructure projects, the Beijing-Tibet Expressway expansion and expansion project and the Wuyin Expressway construction project are undoubtedly the key projects for Yinchuan to go out and introduce, and also the main road running through Yinchuan, north and south, and east and west. The construction of the road will make the road to the airport more convenient. In addition to road construction, the integrated passenger transportation hub is also the “big picture”.

"At present, some main projects in the railway station integrated passenger transportation project have been completed about 80%. At the end of this year, the long-distance bus station hub project, the underground connecting passage project, the transfer center, the North Plaza parking lot, the management house and 4 Under the train station channel project." Yinchuan Railway Station passenger transport phase I project production manager Chen Shanfei introduced.

Among them, the Yinchuan East Station passenger transport hub project was initially located on the Duanjiahu Lake Island in Yongning County, southeast of Yinchuan City. At present, the project is carrying out a conceptual plan study of the passenger transportation hub under the condition of 6000m2 high-speed railway station building. The estimated investment of the hub is 510 million yuan. The Great Solidarity Plaza integrated passenger hub project covers an area of 250,000 square meters, with a planned total construction area of 146,000 square meters and an investment of about 3 billion yuan.

As the most grounded mode of transportation infrastructure, buses play an important role in the seamless connection of citizens. To this end, Yinchuan City has also included the IC card system application upgrade project of the Yinchuan Bus One Card Department of Transportation in transportation construction.

The reporter also learned that at present, the project has completed the application of the second-level commercial password of the Ministry of Communications, building a secret management system, terminal transformation, PASM card installation, card issuance system upgrade, clearing system transformation, and connection with the national system platform. Up to now, 546 IC cards have been issued for the Ministry of Communications.

Plan to build Yinchuan to Taiyuan high-speed rail

Li Wei introduced that at present, Yinchuan City is studying the high-speed rail project from Yinchuan to Taiyuan, which is still in the preliminary research stage.

The project from the Dingbian-Yinchuan section of Taizhongyin Railway is located in Yinchuan City, about 60 kilometers away. It is planned to carry out expansion and reconstruction. The project line starts from Taiyuan South Station in the east and the Zhongwei Yingshui Bridge marshalling station on the Xida Baolan Line. The branch line is self-determined and connected. Enter the Baolan Line Yinchuan Pingjibao Station. After the project is completed, it will become a fast artery for the Yinchuan high-speed railway to the east. With the roads and shipping routes, Yinchuan will better communicate with other cities.

In the interview, the reporter was informed that in 2019, the Yinchuan Municipal Transportation Bureau will continue to cooperate with the Autonomous Region Transportation Department to promote the reconstruction and expansion of the Beijing-Tibet Expressway, and strive to be completed and opened to traffic during the year. In addition, the Yinchuan Railway Station Integrated Hub and the Yellow River Yinchuan Section will be accelerated. The construction of key projects such as the Yinchuan East Line Highway, the National Highway 110, the Hongguang Town of Helan County, the Zhenbeibao Section of Xixia District, and the Yongning Expressway will lay the foundation for the creation of the Yinchuan Metropolitan Area.

I wish there are some English translations available.
Its a real treat to read about history of Chinese Electric and Diesel Locomotives from 1970 onwards. unfortunately this information is available in scattered form and for people like me who can't read Mandarin, its a great loss :(
Hope so....
First, waiting for the Chinese version printed.....
This series looks pricey.....:angel:

The city in the deep mountains of Guizhou Province
Three generations of railway stations


Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province


First-generation
1 July 1966 opening with Guiyang-Kunming Railway
as a part of the Third Front Movement

Liupanshui prefecture was established in 1960s, then as a prefecture-level city in 1970s due to relocation of heavy industries from Eastern China and the booming local mining industry.

Second-generation
1980s

Third-generation
2015
72703079ly4fsz0nr6fgqj20hs09q0tt.jpg


Future:

Anshun-Liupanshui Intercity (open in 2019)
Linking Liupanshui to the main Shanghai-Kunming HSR

The new terminal at the other side of the old station
convenient for transfer between slow trains, bullet trains, and long-distance bus

Hopefully better infra could make a change for Liupanshui's underdeveloped tourist resources.
