Shuohuang Railway is the second largest channel for China's west-to-east coal transportation, with an annual coal transportation volume of more than 300 million tons for six consecutive years. Including the Huangda Line and the Huangwan Line, the total operating mileage of Guoneng Shuohuang Railway Development Co., Ltd. has reached 889 kilometers, undertaking the important mission of ensuring energy supply in China.
Since the fourth quarter of this year, the average daily traffic volume of Shuohuang Railway has remained above 1.08 million tons, setting a new record of 19 transportation indicators such as monthly operation of 20,000-ton heavy-haul trains, single-day coal transportation volume, and single-month transportation volume of this line.

According to Gao Mingming, director of the Shuohuang Railway Dispatching and Command Center, in order to improve the supply of thermal coal, the Shuohuang Railway Company has also established a docking mechanism for thermal coal supply to accurately grasp the supply, demand and transportation of power plants to ensure efficient and stable thermal coal transportation.
In addition to tapping the potential in the transportation organization, Shuohuang Railway also uses a large number of new electric locomotives and independent innovation technologies independently developed by China, including 44 sets of 120 kilometers per hour jointly developed by the National Energy Shuohuang Railway Development Co., Ltd. and CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive *** The maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, traction power of 14,400 kilowatts, traction force of 1,140 kN, with intelligent driving, intelligent operation and maintenance, intelligent diagnosis functions of 12-axle electric locomotives, provides sufficient power guarantee for the improvement of transportation capacity.
In the 23 years since it was put into operation, Shuohuang Railway has been based on "channel + hub + network + platform", focusing on the main business of coal transportation and fully undertaking the mission of energy channel, while comprehensively promoting the construction of a large logistics system and striving to transform from a single coal transportation channel to a comprehensive transportation and logistics channel. As of 18:00 on December 13, the cumulative annual non-coal cargo volume of Shuohuang Railway reached 198670,000 tons, of which 1,617 were transported in reverse80,000 tons. While improving the utilization rate of transportation capacity and improving the operating efficiency of enterprises, it effectively guarantees the transportation needs of enterprises along the route for bulk raw materials, and provides new capacity support for the economic development along the route.
