China's Railways Network
DECEMBER 1959 ISSUE
SHARE
WITH seventeen new trunk lines under construction, to be supplemented by many local railways undertaken by the local authorities, and with the first powerful diesel engines and modern passenger cars already successfully trial-produced, a far-flung modernized railway network is gradually shaping up in China.

Railways today are regarded as one of the keys in the great leap forward of the national economy, since they pave the way for the rapid development of other branches of the economy. In the nationwide battle for steel, they play an important role in transporting iron ore, fuel, and equipment.


A major effort this year is the double tracking of the two main north-south trunk lines — PekingCanton and Tientsin-Shanghai — and of the east-west Lunghai railway from the Yellow Sea to Lanchow and the province of Sinkiang.

Peking is building a line connecting Lanchow with Sining, Lhasa, and the oil centers in the Tsaidam Basin. The Lanchow route, which goes through Sinkiang to Urumchi and into Russia, should be ready soon.

When the Communists took over ten years ago, there were roughly 13,500 miles of railways, less than half in operation, most of them in disrepair. The Communists claim that, between 1950 and 1957, they rebuilt 2074 miles of old lines and built 3962 miles of new lines. They say that they built an additional 1400 miles in 1958.

Peking’s goal in the next few years is a nationwide railway network which will link all the provincial capitals. The north-south trunk lines, the east-west trunk lines, and the new lines connecting the southwest and the northwest with the rest of the country will form the backbone of this network. They will be supplemented by regional lines and circular lines bringing together autonomous regions and areas inhabited by national minorities.

随着17条新干线的建设，以及由地方政府承担的许多地方铁路的补充，并随着第一批大功率柴油机和现代客车的成功试制，一个分布广泛的现代化铁路网正在中国逐步形成。

今天，铁路被认为是国民经济大跃进的关键之一，因为它们为其他经济部门的快速发展铺平了道路。在全国性的钢铁战役中，它们在运输铁矿石、燃料和设备方面发挥着重要作用。


今年的一项主要工作是对两条主要的南北干线--北京-广东和天津-上海--以及从黄海到兰州市和新江省的东西方向的龙海铁路进行双线追踪。

北京正在建设一条连接兰州市与西宁、拉萨以及柴达木盆地的石油中心的线路。兰州的线路，经过新乡到乌鲁木齐，进入俄罗斯，应该很快就能完工。

十年前共产党接管时，大约有13,500英里的铁路，只有不到一半在运行，其中大部分年久失修。共产党人声称，在1950年和1957年之间，他们重建了2074英里的旧线路，并建造了3962英里的新线路。他们说，他们在1958年又建造了1400英里。

北京在未来几年的目标是建立一个全国性的铁路网，将所有省会城市连接起来。南北干线、东西干线以及连接西南和西北地区与全国其他地区的新线将构成这个网络的骨干。它们将得到区域性线路和环形线路的补充，这些线路把自治区和少数民族聚居区连接起来。
