Xiangtang–Putian Railway or Xiangpu Railway (), is a railroad in eastern China linking Nanchang and Fúzhou (福州), the provincial capitals, respectively, of Jiangxi and Fujian Province. The line is named after Xiangtang, a township south of Nanchang, which was originally slated to serve as a terminus, and Putian, on the coast of Fujian, at which the southern branch of the Xiangpu Railway terminates.〔 The line actually begins at the Lehua East Station, a rail junction for the Beijing–Kowloon and Nanchang–Jiujiang Intercity Railways north of Nanchang. The line heads south to Nanchang West Railway Station and bypasses Xiangtang on its way to Fǔzhou (抚州).〔 After entering Fujian, the line forks at Yongtai with the northern fork heading to Fúzhou (福州) and the southern fork going to Putian.〔 The Nanchang to Yongtai section of the line plus the northern fork to Fuzhou is officially named the Nanchang–Fuzhou or Changfu Railway.〔(Chinese) ("南昌铁路局：向莆铁路正式命名为昌福线、永莆线" ''Xinhua'' ) 2013-01-17〕 The southern fork is officially named the Yongtai–Putian or Yongpu Railway.〔 Including both forks, the Xiangpu has a total length of with 24 stations.〔(Chinese) ("向莆铁路预计2013年通车" ''福建东南新闻网'' ) 2009-6-10〕 Construction of the line began on October 1, 2008 and required investments of about Y51.6 billion.〔 The line opened on September 26, 2013.〔(Chinese) ("中国铁建设计与参建的向莆铁路建成通车" ) 2013-09-29〕 The Xiangtang–Putian Railway can accommodate trains running at speeds of up to and serves as a major trunkline in China's railway network. Major cities and towns along route include Nanchang, Fǔzhou (抚州), Nancheng and Nanfeng in Jiangxi and Jianning, Taining, Jiangle, Sha County, Youxi, Yongtai, Fúzhou (福州) and Putian in Fujian. ==Line description== The Xiangtang–Putian Railway runs in a southeasterly direction from Nanchang to Fuzhou and Putian. The line traverses the rugged and scenic Wuyi Mountains and has several tunnels over 10 km in length. The Xiangtan–Putian Railway is not the first railway link between the Nanchang area and Fujian. It is preceded by an older line (the Yingtan to Nanping section of the Yingtan–Xiamen Railway, and the Nanping–Fuzhou Railway thereafter), originally constructed in the late 1950s. However, the new railway does not closely parallel the older one: instead, it follows a roughly parallel route located 40-50 km to the southwest of the older rail line, and which in many areas is much closer to the route of the G70 Fuzhou–Yinchuan Expressway. This allows the new line to serve cities and counties that previously had no, or little, rail service. 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「Xiangtang–Putian Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
