Conventional Railway to The Nanjing–Anqing Intercity Railway (Chinese: 宁安城际铁路) is a high-speed rail, passenger-dedicated line between cities of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province and Anqing, Anhui Province, in China.[1][2] Construction of the 258-kilometre (160 mi) railway began in January 2010, and the line was opened on 6 December 2015.[3]
This railway is a branch of the Beijing–Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The route runs parallel to the Yangtze River, and passes through Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Tongling, and Chizhou,[4] 33 km of the railway will be located in Jiangsu, with 225 km in Anhui.[5] with a total of ten stations.[3]
The total investment is predicted to be 25.702 billion RMB, provided by the Railway departments of Jiangsu province and Anhui province.[5]
Most of the line runs along the southern bank of the Yangtze, but Anqing is located on the northern side of the river. The Anqing Railway Bridge is being constructed 22 km before the Anqing station. The bridge will also serve the Fuyang-Jingdezhen Railway.[6]
Operation
The capacity is estimated to be about 125 pairs of trains each day.[5] The trains will have a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour,[7] with the entire journey taking 90 minutes. The current travel time between the two cities is 8 hours.[8] It will also allow passengers to travel between Anqing and Shanghai in 3 hours, compared to the current 12 hours. This new railway will be connected to the Yangtze River Delta region's railway network.[7][9]
Trains are expected to be in service each day from 06:00 to 12:00. 60 pairs of trains will be in operation with a minimum interval between trains of 4 minutes, and an average interval of 15 minutes.[10]
The cost to passengers will be 0.4 to 0.5 RMB (4 to 5 mao) per kilometre.[10]
Stations
The railway serves 10 stations along its route.[3]
