Construction started in 2010 and is expected to be completed by 2015. This will allow for high speed train travel between Chongqing and Lanzhou, Gansu via Nanchong and Guangyuan, Sichuan. == Introduction == With a total length of 820 km, of which 435 km is located within Gansu Province, in addition to the construction of a branch to Nanchong and Guang'an that is 95 km long. It is being built as a new double line electrified railway, with high-speed freight train capable of up to 160 km/h, high-speed passenger trains traveling at 200 km/h although the design speed has been set to 250 km/h. The capacity of the line is expected at 50 train pairs per day and 50,000,000 tonnes of freight per year. Lanzhou-Chongqing railway project is estimated to need a total investment of 77.4 billion yuan, of which the Gansu Provincial Government is to invest about 43 billion yuan, with the rest of the funding coming from a Ministry of Railways, Sichuan and Chongqing joint construction effort. The construction period is expected to take 6 years. After the completion of Lanzhou-Chongqing railway, rail transport from Lanzhou and Chongqing will be shortened from 1466 kilometers to 820 kilometers, train running time is reduced to 6.5 hours from 17.5 hours. Recent high speed rail reforms has also meant direct Chengdu-Lanzhou and Chongqing-Xi'an services will use a combination of Xi'an–Chengdu High-Speed Railway and Chongqing–Lanzhou High-Speed Railway from where they meet at Guangyuan, Sichuan. This will negate a need to build a separate direct Chongqing-Xi'an or Chengdu-Lanzhou lines.〔(市发改委：渝西高铁搁浅. 重庆到西安将借道西成高铁 ), ''Chongqing Ribao'', 2012-09-28〕 Because of hilly terrain between Guangyuan and Lanzhou on 832 km of railway there will be 285 bridges totaling 104 km (13% of the route) and 178 tunnels totaling 506 km (63% of the route). Twelve of the tunnels will exceed 10 km in length, while longest tunnel will measure 29 km.〔(Railway Technology: Lanzhou-Chongqing Rail Project, China )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chongqing–Lanzhou Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
