The Jiayang Coal Railway, also known as Shixi–Huangcunjing Railway or Shibanxi Railway, is a narrow gauge railway in Sichuan in Qianwei County near Leshan, China. == History == The Bajiaogou coal mine was set-up in 1938. The coal was initially transported in manually pushed trucks on a gauge railway track to Mamio, where the coal was loaded onto barges on the Mabian river.〔(''BaShi Railway.'' ) auf: ''railwaysofchina.com''〕 To make transport more efficient, the construction of a long narrow gauge railway line to Shixi with a gauge of began in 1958. The line was formally inaugurated on 12 July 1959. In 1960 it was re-gauged to . The station of Mifengyan was part of a zig zag. Initially only coal waggons were used both for coal and passengers. In the 1960ies trains with mixed coal and passenger carriages were available. In 1975 six pairs of passenger only trains operated daily independendently from the coal transport, but were reduced to four passenger trains per day over the years.〔 Additional mines near Jiaoba and Yuejin, Sichuan, were also connected to the railway line. In 2000 the Yuejin–Shixi line was electrified with 550 V DC. The coal transport on the reminder discontinued in 2003, but passenger trains still operated, due to the lack of a road connection. In May 2004 the local government requested to maintain the line as a heritage railway, as more and more tourists became interested in it. In 2010 it was listed as national cultural heritage. Parallelly to the normal services, the needs of tourists are taken into consideration. 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「Jiayang Coal Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
