Brother Tao will take you to see the railway: the interweaving of history and future
Hello everyone, I'm your oral blogger Brother Tao. Today, Brother Tao wants to take you through the tunnel of time and talk about the railway connecting Dazhou, Sichuan and Chengdu. This is not only a railway, but also a magnificent epic, full of historical vicissitudes and future visions.
1. The dust of history: the gestation and twists and turns of the railway
As early as the Republic of China, railway traffic between Chengdu and Chongqing was put on the agenda. At that time, people dreamed of a railway that could run through the land of Sichuan and Chongqing, closely connecting Dazhou and Chengdu. However, due to the shadow of war, this dream can only stay in the planning stage and become a dead letter.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country was in ruins, and railway construction became the top priority. The Ministry of Railways proposed a plan for the construction of the Sichuan-Henan Railway (later renamed the Xiangcheng Railway), intending to start from Chengdu, pass through Dazhou and other places, and eventually connect to Henan. However, due to the difficulties of the national economy, this ambitious plan had to be interrupted, and the construction of the railway was also put on hold.
Until the end of the 60s, in order to strengthen national defense construction, the state put forward a strategy of three-line construction. At this time, the completion of the railway was once again put on the agenda. However, due to the strategic needs of the time, the state decided to build the Yuda section (later incorporated into the Xiangyu Railway) first, while the construction of the Dazhou section (Dazhou to Chengdu) was once again shelved.
2. Breaking the cocoon into a butterfly: the construction of the railway in the early 90s
In the early 90s, with the deepening of reform and opening up, the economy of Sichuan has developed rapidly. There is also a growing demand for transportation between Dazhou and Chengdu. In order to promote the development of the regional economy, the local government actively strives to build a railway. However, at that time, the state had limited financial resources and could not cover the full cost of construction. As a result, the local government decided to jointly fund the construction of the railway with the state in the form of a joint venture.
In 1992, this dream finally became a reality. The construction of the railway officially started, with a total length of 347 kilometers, and was designed as a single-track non-electrified railway. After several years of hard work, the railway was completed and opened to traffic in 1997. At this moment, the dreams of countless people have come true, and the traffic bottleneck between Dazhou and Chengdu has been alleviated.
3. Fast and Furious: The speed and transformation of railways
However, with the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for traffic speed are getting higher and higher. In order to meet this demand, in 2001, the national railways carried out the fourth major speed increase. As part of this increase, the speed of some sections of the railway has been increased to 100 kilometers per hour. This change makes it easier and faster for people to get around.
Subsequently, with the construction of the Suiyu Railway and the beginning of the electrification transformation and additional double-track project of the railway, the railway once again ushered in new development opportunities. The renovation was carried out according to the standard of 200 kilometers per hour, and the new double-track railway realized the operation of passenger and freight lines, which greatly increased the transportation capacity.
In the process, diesel locomotives gradually retired from the stage of history, and new electrified railway systems were introduced. This not only improves transportation efficiency, but also reduces operating costs. Tao Ge believes that this is the inevitable result of scientific and technological progress, and it is also an important milestone in the history of railway development.
Fourth, the interweaving of diesel locomotives and electrification
In the construction and renovation of the railway, diesel locomotives played an important role. These locomotives undertook heavy transportation tasks in the early days of the opening of the railway, and made great contributions to the economic development of the Sichuan region. However, with the completion of the construction and renovation of electrified railways, diesel locomotives gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
Tao Ge believes that this change is the inevitable result of the development of the times. Electrified railways are more efficient and have lower operating costs, better able to meet people's demands for speed and quality of transportation. At the same time, it also marks that China's railway industry has entered a new stage of development.
5. Looking to the future: high-speed rail construction and regional development
Today, the railway has become an important part of the national railway network. It not only connects the two important cities of Dazhou and Chengdu, but also connects with other railway lines, forming a transportation network extending in all directions. This provides strong support for the economic development of the regions along the route.
However, Tao Ge believes that this is only the beginning. With the continuous increase of the country's investment in transportation infrastructure construction, the railway will usher in more development opportunities in the future. At present, the state is building the Nandawan high-speed railway project, which will further shorten the distance between Dazhou and Chengdu and improve the efficiency and quality of transportation.
At the same time, the construction of high-speed rail will also drive the economic development of the regions along the line. With the improvement of traffic conditions and the increase of people and logistics, the industrial structure and economic layout of the areas along the route will also undergo profound changes. This will inject new vitality into the development of the Sichuan region and even the entire western region.
In short, the construction and renovation of railways is an important chapter in the history of China's railway development. It has not only changed the transportation landscape of Sichuan, but also provided strong support for the economic development of the regions along the route. Tao Ge believes that in the future development, the railway will continue to play an important role and contribute more to the development of Sichuan and even the entire western region.
