Nanping–Fuzhou railway or Nanfu railway (simplified Chinese: 南福铁路; traditional Chinese: 南福鐵路; pinyin: nánfú tiělù), is a railroad in eastern China between Nanping and Fuzhou in Fujian Province.
[1] In 1956, as the Yingxia railway, the first railroad built in Fujian Province, was nearing completion ahead of schedule, the deputy governor of Fujian Liang Lingguang suggested using the leftover funds and manpower to build another railway to the provincial capital Fuzhou.
The Fujian Party Secretary Ye Fei agreed with the proposal and secured the approval of General Wang Zhen.
When the high-speed Xiangtang–Putian railway opened in 2013, it made possible much faster passenger service between Fuzhou and the interior of the country.
Most of the passenger service between Fuzhou and Nanchang (and other points further north and west) has been shifted from the Nanping–Fuzhou railway to the new line, the older railway only keeping a comparatively small number of slower trains.
