On July 24, from Urumqi to Kashgar to the "Kashgar" directly to the Express Train, the passengers woke up to the destination. The news came out that many people rushed to tell each other. The running distance between the railway between the two places of Uka reached 1453 kilometers. Such a long distance was realized, and it was the first time in Xinjiang. At this point, Mercedes -Benz on the railway connected to the two places of Ukah has both a "slow train" with a total length of 23 hours and 12 minutes. It is also useful for only 11 hours and 30 minutes.

Meet the needs of passenger travel

Entering the summer, Xinjiang tourism continues to heat up. Since June, the Xinjiang Railway Department has seized the opportunities for the golden season of tourism, and has successively launched 14 tourism columns such as "New Oriental Express", north -south tourism, and southern Xinjiang.

"To run Urumqi to Kashgar, it is directly to meet the needs of passengers." Said Song Qiang, deputy director of the passenger transport department of the China Railway Urumqi Bureau Group Co., Ltd.

Kashgar has rich tourism resources and has always been a place where tourists from all over the world are more favored. In the summer, the number of passenger trains between Urumqi and Kashgar increased significantly.

The distance from Urumqi to Kashgar was far from the distance of 1453 kilometers throughout the train. Earlier, there were 9 trains in the two places between Uka or passed on the road. The longest time was 23 hours, 12 minutes, and the shortest time and 21 minutes.

"The" Kashi "to reach the Express Train directly is the in -depth implementation of the tourism development of the tourism development conference in the autonomous region, and it is a useful exploration that follows the needs of the market." Song Qiang said.

The "Kashgar" is currently the only direct -to -Express trains in Xinjiang. Ukka has implemented a "point -to -point" operating bank.

At 22:00 on the 24th, the "Kashgar" directly reached the Express Train -Z6516 will run from Urumqi. On the morning of the 22nd, the reporter saw on the 12306 mobile app that the train shop has been sold out.

The facility level is suitable

The "point -to -point" of the "point -to -point" of the president's distance is not only the first time in Xinjiang, but also relatively rare in the country. This is closely related to the increasing level of the Southern Xinjiang railway facilities.

The southern Xinjiang railway is generally extended along the historical Silk Road. Turpan Station of the Lanlan New Railway east, via Wak Jing, Korla, Kuqai, ​​Aksu to Kashgar. On December 30, 2010, as the extension of the Southern Xinjiang Railway, the Kashgar to the Hetian Railway was completed. At this point, Urumqi to Hotan to achieve the entire railway connection.

However, with the rapid development of the South Xinjiang economy, the contradiction between the tension between the southern Xinjiang railway and the need for transportation needs of the southern Xinjiang is increasingly prominent. The acceleration and expansion and transformation of the implementation of the Southern Xinjiang railway is on the agenda.

The Xinjiang Railway has continuously strengthened the construction of railway infrastructure and accelerated the pace of the construction of the southern Xinjiang railway. At the end of 2008, Korla to Aksu's second -line project started. On December 5, 2013, the second line of Kuya was officially opened. Telled to 13 hours a hour. Turpan to the second line of Kuqi also began at the same time. Unlike the original line walk around Tianshan, Tuku's second line straight straight lines and adopted the method of crossing Tianshan, which was shortened by 123 kilometers compared with the original Southern Xinjiang Railway Turpan to Korla section.

The new second -line projects in the South Xinjiang Railway have been opened one after another, and the Southern Xinjiang Railway has also entered the era of electrification. Since then, the Southern Xinjiang Railway has continued to improve the hardware facilities, and the train operating environment is better. On this basis, train speeds from Urumqi to southern Xinjiang have accelerated, and the trip is shorter.

"This provides the most basic conditions for Urumqi and Kashgar to direct the Express train, and equipped with the highest -level 25T DC600V in the domestic Pu -Express bus. After the trip time, it achieved the dynasty. "Song Qiang said.

Diversified trains rich travel options

There are not only direct fast trains from Xi Fa to the end of the Waka, but also the "slow train" stopped by the station.

In June 2011, the first passenger trains of the "Hetian Yulong" passenger trains to and from Hetian in Urumqi and Hetian ended the history of no trains in the Hetian area. This train passes 21 stations including Urumqi, Turpan, Korla, Kashgar, Hetian, with a total of 66 parking stations. Personally, the train still stops every station, becoming a "bus" for the people along the route.

The types of rich passenger trains in Whaka are the epitome of the diversified operation of the Xinjiang railway train. As the Xinjiang railway infrastructure is becoming increasingly improved, at present, Xinjiang has formed a north -south railway ring line, and there are motors, intercity trains, "Fuxing" trains, special express trains, express train, and general speed trains. Wait, passengers can choose independently according to their needs.
