Across the mountains, the railway freight artery leading to the river and the sea in the southwest region will add a new way!On December 8, the mobilization meeting for the construction of the Yellow Bucket to Baise Railway was held in Baise, Guangxi, marking the official start of construction of the Huangbai Railway.
The Huangbai Railway is located in Guizhou and Guangxi, and the line starts from the Yellow Bucket Station in Anshun City, Guizhou Province, passing through Anshun City, Liupanshui City, Qianxinan Prefecture and Leye County, Lingyun County and Youjiang District of Baise City, Guangxi, and connects to Baise Station, which is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 2028. After completion, the southwest region will have a more convenient passage for goods to go to sea, and an important section of the freight traffic map in the southwest region will be completed.

The new project completes the "key link" of the western route
The long horn of the Yao clan sounded, the horns of the construction vehicles sounded in unison, and the railway construction that had been prepared for a long time kicked off.
The "Implementation Plan for Promoting the High-quality Construction of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor in the 14th Five-Year Plan" issued in 2021 clearly states that the focus will be on opening up the missing road sections, and optimizing and improving the western route from Chengdu to the Beibu Gulf estuary via Luzhou (Yibin) and Baise. Started the construction of the Yellow Bucket to Baise Railway, and strengthened the expansion and transformation of the existing railway.
The Huangbai Railway is an important part of the western route of the new western land-sea corridor, and it is also the only missing section of the western railway corridor. Hu Yingjie, director of the railway project development department of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Transportation, said.
Since the beginning of this year, with the strong support of relevant ministries and commissions, Sichuan Province has actively promoted, and Guizhou and Guangxi provinces (regions) have worked together to prepare for the project. In February, the feasibility study report of Huangbai Railway was approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, and the environmental impact assessment was approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Transport, and the Ministry of Water ResourcesIn September, the preliminary design of the Huangbai Railway was approved by the relevant departments, and the preliminary approval procedures were completedIn November, Huangbai Railway was established ......At the same time, all departments of provinces (autonomous regions) and municipalities along the route have made every effort to carry out various tasks such as land acquisition.

Even the southwest pushes along the line to cross the heavy mountains.
From Sichuan, Chongqing, Guizhou and Guizhou to Beibu Gulf Port, the Huangbai Railway is a freight backbone channel with shorter transportation distance, better efficiency and wide benefit. Hu Yingjie said.
The transportation distance is short, and it is necessary to break through the obstacles of heavy mountains. According to reports, the Huangbai Railway is located in the slope area of the transition from the plateau to the hilly basin, the geological conditions and hydrological environment of the project are extremely complex, and the soluble rock area is widely distributed. It is understood that the bridge-tunnel ratio of the project is as high as 842%。Among them, the ratio of bridges and tunnels in Guangxi is 906%, Guizhou section of the bridge-tunnel ratio is 803%。
The transportation network has brought new opportunities for high-quality development and opening up of the region. The Huangbai Railway passes through the old revolutionary base area of Zuojiang and the Miao, Yao, Buyi and other ethnic minority areas, and will end the history of Lingyun County and Leye County without railways after completion, and is bound to promote the in-depth integration and development of transportation and logistics economy in the areas along the line.
Ge Guoke, deputy secretary of the Baise Municipal Party Committee and mayor, said that Baise actively promotes the construction of transportation projects such as the Huangbai Railway and the navigation facilities of the Baise Water Conservancy Hub, accelerates the upgrading of ports and the construction of highways, builds a multimodal transport pattern of "road, rail, water and air", builds an important transportation hub and material distribution center in the southwest region, promotes high-quality development with high-level opening-up, and better serves and integrates into the new development pattern.

The transportation capacity will help expand the opening of the channel.
After the completion of the Huangbai Railway, which connects Chengdu and Chongqing in the north and Beibu Gulf in the south, the distance for goods from Chengdu and other places to go to sea through Qinzhou Port will be shortened from the current 1,697 kilometers to 1,440 kilometers. The relevant person in charge of China Railway Nanning Bureau Group said.
Since the beginning of this year, the number of sea-rail intermodal trains and containers in the new western land-sea corridor has continued to grow. The growth trend will continue, and the transportation capacity of the corridor will become increasingly tight. Zhang Junkai, deputy general manager of Yunnan-Guizhou Railway Guangxi Co., Ltd., one of the construction units of the Guangxi section of the Huangbai Railway, believes that it is the right time to improve the railway capacity.
Lei Xiaohua, deputy director of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies of the Guangxi Academy of Social Sciences, believes that after the completion of the Huangbai Railway, it will greatly ease the transportation pressure and reduce logistics costs, which is conducive to industrial cooperation between the western region and the Beibu Gulf Economic Zone.

A number of interviewees said that the Huangbai Railway will play an important role in promoting the development of the western region to form a new pattern, connecting the "Belt and Road" to strengthen the linkage between land and sea at home and abroad, building China-ASEAN multimodal transport, and supporting the western region to participate in international economic cooperation.
