The HankouâDanjiangkou railway or Handan railway ( simplified Chinese: ćąä¸šé衯; traditional Chinese: 柢业éľčˇŻ; pinyin: hĂ ndÄn tiÄlĂš), is a railroad in central China between Wuhan and Danjiangkou in Hubei Province. The line is 411 km (255 mi) long and follows the Han River from Wuhan's Hankou District north to Danjiangkou near the border with Henan Province. [1] [2] The line was built from 1958 to 1966 and double-tracked in 2009. [2] [3] Major cities and towns along route include Wuhan, Anlu, Suizhou, Zaoyang, Xiangyang, Laohekou and Danjiangkou.
This line along with XiangyangâChongqing Railway is the traditional route linking Sichuan and Chongqing with Eastern China. After the completion of Yichang-Wanzhou Railway the line's importance decreased slightly but many conventional trains still use this route.
