New Rail Section to Ease Bottleneck of Beijing-Kowloon Railway

Chinese railway departments on Tuesday began construction on the 222-km double-track Longchuan- Dongguan rail section along the southern stretch of the Beijing- Kowloon Railway Line.

The section passes through the city of Huizhou in south China's Guangdong Province.

With an investment of 2.67 billion yuan (about 323 million U.S. dollars) the construction is scheduled for completion in 2003, said provincial officials.

Most of the north-south trunk line, which went into operation in 1996, was double-tracked during initial construction.

The double-tracking project on the remaining bottleneck section of the rail line from Longchuan to Dongguan will greatly improve transportation on the Beijing-Kowloon railway, which daily handles 94 passenger and cargo trains.
