China News Service, Yancheng, December 30 (as name display) On the morning of the 30th, the Yantong high-speed train with a total length of 156.6 kilometers and a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour was officially opened for operate.
“In the past three years, Yancheng has been the main battleground for the construction of the Jiangsu Railway. Every year, a high-speed railway has been completed and opened to traffic, which has enabled the development of the high-speed railway. from ‘zero regional mileage’ to ‘full county and county coverage,’ and fully entering the era of high-speed rail. ” Song Yong, director of the Transportation Bureau, said at a press conference for the inauguration of the Yantong high-speed train.
Located in the northern part of Jiangsu, Yancheng is a former revolutionary area and the construction of the railway started relatively late. In 2009, although Yancheng was ranked among the 10 prefectural-level cities with open ports such as aviation and seaports, in 2004 only a new long railway was inaugurated with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour. It takes almost 4 hours to take the Xin-Chang Railway train to the provincial capital, Nanjing; there is no direct train to Shanghai. The traffic obstruction has kept Yancheng out of the economic radiation circle between Shanghai and Nanjing.
Breaking the status of Yancheng as the “end of the railroad” and changing the “dilemma” of the 8 million people in Yanfu transportation has become the determined pursuit of successive Yancheng Municipal Committees and Municipal Governments. The Yancheng City Seventh Party Congress in 2016 outlined a clear “high-speed rail dream”: to accelerate the construction of a “5 + 1” high-speed rail network that runs north-south, east-west and internally and externally, and accumulates salt towards Beijing and Xi’an. Xu High Speed Railway, Lianhuaiyang City Railway (Yanning High Speed Railway Link) to Nanjing, Yanlian Railway to Qingdao, Yantong High Speed Railway to Shanghai, Yantai-Xichang-Yi High Speed Railway to Hangzhou and Yancheng Compreheng Passenger terminal.
Focusing on the above goals, Yancheng has always placed railway construction in a very prominent position, seized opportunities, made scientific decisions, and used the city’s efforts to accelerate railway development, overcoming the “acceleration” of Yancheng railway construction. in the new age.
On December 26, 2018, the Lianyan Railway was completed and opened. This is the first newly built railway in Yancheng with a target speed of 200 km / h or more. Due to the opening of this railway, the three counties of Xiangshui, Binhai and Sheyang ended the history of the absence of trains.
On December 16, 2019, the Xusu Huaiyan Railway, known as the “Golden Belt” of the Jiangsu Railway, was completed and inaugurated. This is another milestone in the history of Yancheng transportation development. After several efforts by Yancheng, the design speed of the Xuyan Railway has changed from 160 km / h to 200 km / h, and finally to 250 km / h, which can be described as “a difficult journey.”
On December 11, 2020, the Yanning High Speed Railway was officially opened to traffic. The first station of the Yanning high-speed train is Yancheng, passing through Huai’an, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and finally Nanjing, with a total length of about 340 kilometers. Before the opening of the Yanning high-speed train, there were only three trains between Yancheng and Nanjing. Now two high-speed trains per day have been added, making it more convenient for the public to travel.
On December 30, the Yantong high-speed train, which took nearly three years to build, was completed and opened to traffic. The Yantong high-speed train has a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour and is the fastest high-speed rail link between Yancheng and Shanghai and South Jiangsu.

So far, the total mileage of the Yancheng Railway has reached 424 kilometers, including 267 kilometers of high-speed rail. The anti-K-shaped high-speed train network has taken shape.
The Yancheng Comprehensive Passenger Transportation Center was built and operated simultaneously with the Yantong High-Speed Railway. This is not only the central station of high-speed railways such as Yanxu, Yanlian, Yantong, Yantai Xichangyi and other high-speed railways in Yancheng city, but also a variety of transportation methods such as the New Long Railway, long-distance buses distance, taxis, city buses and city terminals. A complete passenger transportation hub that performs “zero transfer”.
With the completion of the plan to begin construction of the Yantai-Tianjin-Changyi railway in 2021, the plan of Yancheng’s “5 + 1” high-speed railway network running north-south, east-west and connected internal and externally it has changed from a plane to a reality. “Yancheng has changed from a former traffic council to a major central railway city on the east coast of Jiangsu. In particular, the high-speed train from Yantong to Shanghai will create a 1.5-hour travel circle between Yancheng and Shanghai, It will reshape the regional geographical map and promote high-quality development of Yancheng’s economy. Great effect, “said Song Yong. (End up)Return to Sohu to see more
