Sichuan–Guizhou railway

The Sichuan–Guizhou railway or Chuanqian railway (simplified Chinese: 川黔铁路; traditional Chinese: 川黔鐵路; pinyin: chuānqiǎn tiělù), is a single-track electrified railroad in southwest China between Chongqing Municipality and Guiyang, Guizhou Province.

The shorthand name for the line, Chuanqian, is derived from the shorthand names of Sichuan Province (Chuan 川), to which Chongqing once belonged, and Guizhou (Qian 黔).

[1] Major cities and towns along route include Chongqing, Qijiang, Tongzi, Zunyi, and Guiyang.

The Chuanqian railway is a major rail conduit in western China from Baotou in Inner Mongolia to the Gulf of Tonkin.

The line crosses the Yangtze River via the Baishatuo Railway Bridge and passes through Qijiang before entering northern Guizhou, where it ends at Guiyang railway station.
