The Beijing–Hankou or Jinghan Railway (), also Peking–Hankow Railway, was the name of the railway in China from Beijing to Hankou, Hubei Province built in 1905 by Belgian engineers. In 1957, after the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge was completed, the Beijing-Hankou Railway was connected to the Canton–Hankow Railway and the two railways became collectively known as the Beijing-Guangzhou (Jingguang) Railway. Before the bridge was built, cross-country trains had to be ferried across the Yangtze River in Wuhan between Hankou on the north bank and Wuchang on the south bank. The crossing could take up to an entire day. From 1928 to 1945, when Beijing was known as Beiping, the Beijing-Hankou Railway was known as the Beiping-Hankou or Pinghan Railway. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese advance into central China was known as the Beiping–Hankou Railway Operation. ==See also== *Rail transport in the People's Republic of China *List of railways in China *Beiping-Hankou Railway Operation (battle along railway line) 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「Beijing–Hankou Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
