[Jinghe-Alashankou section added second-line project to resume work] On March 20, 2023, in Alashankou Station, a national first-class port station, more than 10 large-scale construction machines were carrying out roadbed filling construction in an intense and orderly manner. With the full expansion and reconstruction of the Alashankou station transshipment yard, the construction of the second line of the Jinghe-Alashankou section of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway has fully resumed. In November 2022, the construction of the Jinghe-Alashankou section extension second-line project is located in Boertala Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture. The line starts from Jinghe Station of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, passes through Jinghe County, Bole City, and Alashankou City, and connects to Alashankou City. Shankou Station, with a total length of 70 kilometers and a design speed of 120 kilometers per hour, is a National Railway Class I electrified railway, and the construction period is 2 years. The project will simultaneously renovate and expand the four existing stations of Jinghe, Mushroom Beach, Bole East, and Alashankou Station, build a new comprehensive inspection field for Alashankou Station, and renovate the container reloading field at this station. After the project is completed, it will form a double-track railway with the existing single-track railway to further improve the transportation capacity of the new Eurasian Continental Bridge. After the transformation of the reloading yard is completed, the five reloading tracks will be extended from the original 470 meters to 800 meters, which can complete the overall reloading operation for the entire train and improve the efficiency of cargo passing. Luo Wenhui, manager of the Jing'an Railway Project Department of China Railway First Bureau, introduced. The Xinjiang Railway Department organized the participating units to reverse the construction period, and completed the site layout, construction water, electricity, communication and other facilities with high standards, laying a solid foundation for the smooth resumption of work.
