On March 12, 2022, the Hotan-Ruoqiang railway with a total length of 825.476 kilometers passed the dynamic acceptance smoothly, marking that the railway is one step closer to its opening and operation within the year.

The Xinjiang railway department organizes professionals to take a comprehensive inspection train consisting of special inspection trains for tracks, electrical services, vehicles, etc., according to the three speed levels of 80 kilometers, 100 kilometers, and 120 kilometers per hour. Communication as well as bridges for dynamic detection. The test data is collected and sorted by the professional instruments equipped on the train, and the acceptance results are obtained through analysis, which provides a scientific basis for whether the operation can be opened as scheduled.

"Through this test, the acceptance criteria have been preliminarily met. After the dynamic acceptance is completed, the next step will be to enter the comprehensive safety assessment stage to fully prepare for the opening and operation within this year." China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd. Engineering Management Section Chief Chen Jun said.

Chen Kai, director of the track testing office of the Industrial and Electrical Testing Institute of China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd., said that the GJ-6 track inspection vehicle equipped with the "Beidou" positioning detection system was also used for the dynamic acceptance of the Heruo Railway. This is the first time in the dynamic acceptance of the new line. During operation, the vehicle can feed back the geometric dimension detection information of the line to the rail inspection system in real time for collection and analysis. Compared with the previous inspection vehicles, it is more accurate and can accurately locate the potential safety hazards of the track, so as to facilitate rapid rectification and improvement in the later stage. .

The Heruo Railway leads from the Hotan Station of the Southern Xinjiang Railway, passes through Hotan, Luopu, Cele and other places, and connects with the existing Golmud-Korla Railway and the Southern Xinjiang Railway, forming a railway ring line around the Tarim Basin. Another railway loop after the formation of the loop.

The construction of the Heruo Railway started at the end of 2018, and the whole line will be laid and completed in September 2021. It is a convenient transportation channel for the southern Xinjiang region to communicate with the northwest and southwest regions of China. The railway is a national railway class I, internal combustion, passenger and freight co-line railway, with a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour, and electrification conditions are reserved. After the railway is put into operation, it will end the history of Qiemo County, Minfeng County, Yutian County and many other places in southern Xinjiang without train access, which is of great significance to promoting the economic and social development of southern Xinjiang.Editor/Ma Xue
