The Beijing–Shanghai Railway or Jinghu railway () is a railway line in China between Beijing and Shanghai. The line has a total length of 1,462 kilometres〔中国铁路线列表 http://wenku.baidu.com/view/600dd7ccda38376baf1fae68.html 〕 and connects the municipalities of Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, as well as the provinces of Hebei, Shandong, Anhui and Jiangsu. It is commonly referred to as the Jinghu Railway, taking on the abbreviated names of the two terminal cities. In Chinese, ''Jing'' means "capital" and refers to Beijing, and ''Hu'' is the abbreviated name for Shanghai. ==History== The Beijing–Shanghai railway is composed of three sections. These three sections are some of the earliest railways in China, built before 1910 during the Qing dynasty. The first section is from Beijing to Tianjin, constructed as part of the Imperial Railways of Northern China between 1897 and 1900. The second section is from Tianjin to Pukoua suburb of Nanjingand used to be called the Tianjin–Pukou Railway. The third section is from Nanjing to Shanghai, built between 1905 and 1908. This section is called Shanghai–Nanjing Railway. During 1927–1949, however, when China's capital was Nanjing, this section alone was called the "Jinghu" railway. Between Pukou and Xiaguan, the railway crosses the Yangtze River. Before the completion of the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge in 1968, the trains were ferried across car-by-car.〔 Passengers could also disembark at Nanjing North (Pukou), take a passenger ferry, and take a train again at the then Nanjing main station south of the river (now known as Nanjing West). After the Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge was completed in 1968, these three sections were linked together and renamed as a single Beijing–Shanghai or Jinghu Railway. 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–Shanghai Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
