The speed also increases from 36 kilometers per hour By the current high speed of the Chinese railway 350 kilometers. What changes are refracted by the channel?

Look at the speed

From 36 kilometers to 350 kilometers per hour, Chengdu -Chongqing continues to speed up

At 6:09 in the morning, the morning Xi was slightly exposed, and a group of "Fuxing" EMU trains were issued from Chengdu East Station, which opened the prelude to the "bus buses" between Chengdu -Chongqing. Every day, hundreds of pairs of trains are between Chengdu and Chongqing, and the fastest trip only takes 62 minutes.

From 13 hours to 62 minutes, Li Zhigang, a train driver of the China Railway Chengdu Group Corporation, witnessed the historical changes of the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway Channel. Li Zhigang's grandfather Li Hongsheng was the first person to sound the whistle when the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway was opened. At that time, the train was 36 kilometers per hour; his father Li Guofang experienced several eras of steam locomotive, internal combustion locomotive and electric locomotive. ; In 2010, after a strict exam, Li Zhigang became a driver of the EMU from a Puchai train driver. He experienced the evolution of 200 kilometers, 250 kilometers, 300 kilometers, and 350 kilometers.

The change of speed reflects the rapid development of the Chinese railway. The Chengdu -Chongqing Railway Channel seems to be an innovative "test field", and each step "advanced" leads the Chinese railway.

The Chengdu -Chongqing Railway is the first railway in New China. It has conducted many beneficial explorations in construction and operation. In 2006, the Suiyu Railway (part of the Chengsuyu Railway Channel) was completed and opened to traffic. The independent intellectual property right -free rail test section; in 2015, the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed rail, which was opened to traffic, completed the technical transformation in 2020 to increase the speed and improve the quality. The speed of operation was increased from 300 kilometers to 350 kilometers. The construction of the Chengyu Middle Line is 350 kilometers per hour, reserving further speed -up space, which will break the domestic high -speed rail speed "ceiling". The new record may continue to be born in Chengdu -Chongqing area.

From "Everyday is the Spring Festival", to many people but not crowded

Before the opening of the Suiyu Railway, the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway was a large railway channel to Chongqing and Guangzhou.

Yang Shixian, an old ticket salesman at Chengdu Station, said that the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway has always been very busy. In the 1970s and 1980s, when the dealer handed over the class, the money was one or two hours. Wang Zeyun, who had served as the captain of the 51/52 trains from Chengdu to Guangzhou, remembers that in the 1990s, there was a "Spring Festival" for a year. When the Ziyang Station stopped, 118 people's compartments were squeezed into more than 200 people. People, the station and even set up a "closing team" to push people into the car to close the door.

Luo Yali, the Chongqing Passenger Transport Duan Duan, has served as the captain on the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway, Cheng Suiyu Railway and the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed railway. In her memory, the Chengdu -Chongqing Line has always been hot. Most passengers are doing business between the two places, and and the. Visiting relatives who visit relatives. In 2006, after the Suiyu Railway was opened to traffic, a double -layer train was opened. The 4 -hour journey was usually full. "In the Spring Festival, there is no great feeling, because there are many people every day."

At the end of 2015, the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed railway at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour was opened to traffic, and the travel time of the two cities railways was further shortened to 1.5 hours. Unlike the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway and the Chengrui -Chongqing Railway, which are double -transported by passenger and cargo, the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed railway is a passenger line, and only passenger trains are running. There are more people, but because the traffic time is short and there are many times, the car is not crowded. Passengers do homework, play games, and even bring tea art cups on the high -speed rail. From then on, Luo Yali has changed for the first time. The concept of "many Spring Festival people".

Although the transportation volume of the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed railway is far greater than that of the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway, the impact of the Chengdu -Chongqing Railway on the economic development along the route has also become an important factors for the development of the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed rail line. Shan Guangping, the person in charge of the Singapore Speed ​​Speed ​​Railway Corporation of China Railway and Chengdu -Chongqing High -speed Railway, recalled that two plans were proposed in the early days of the Chengdu -Chongqing high -speed rail design. More passenger flow support, and the economy along the Laocheng -Chongqing Railway, the economy along the Neijiang, Rongchang, and Yongchuan is more developed. Choosing the South Line plan is closely related to this. Look at the content

The Chengdu -Chongqing Railway Jianyang Station no longer handled the passenger transportation business, and the freight business in the station was busy. Zhong Keming, a retired employee of the cargo post, still remembers that in the 1990s, Jianyang Station carried a car car cargo three or four hundreds a month, and there were nearly two hundred vehicles unloading. There are cotton, sugar cane, corn and other cash crops, which are transported from here to the country.
