  At that time, the Xiangyu Railway was entering an intense and busy construction stage. As a key combat readiness project in the construction of the third line, the Xiangyu Railway runs from Xiangfan, Hubei Province to Chongqing, Sichuan, with a total length of 915 kilometers, it crosses the Qinba Mountains in Shaanxi, and has 405 tunnels and 716 bridges on the whole line.
