Litang–Zhanjiang railway

The Litang–Zhanjiang railway or Lizhan railway (simplified Chinese: 黎湛铁路; traditional Chinese: 黎湛鐵路; pinyin: lízhàn tiělù), is a railroad in southern China from Litang Township in the Guangxi Autonomous Region on the Hunan–Guangxi railway, to the port city of Zhanjiang, in Guangdong Province, on the South China Sea.

[1] Major cities and towns along the route include Guigang, Xingye County, Yulin (Guangxi), Luchuan, Lianjiang (Guangdong), Suixi (Guangdong) and Zhanjiang.

From 2005 to 2009, the southernmost section of the Lizhan Line from Hechun Station to Zhanjiang, 62.7 km (39 mi) in length, was double-tracked and electrified to accommodate trains running at speeds of up to 140 km (87 mi).

[4] The project is complete for the Guigang–Yulin section, and the EMU train entered operation in the end of 2016.

[5] On 1 July 2008, a passenger train hit a landslide which caused the locomotive and six carriages to derail.
