Shitai Line, the first double-line electrified railway in China, was completed and opened to traffic. Business development 1907 10, Zheng Tai Railway was completed and opened to traffic, and Zheng Tai Railway was renamed Shitai Railway on 1938. Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway runs through the throats of Taihang Mountain and Shanxi and Hebei provinces, with a construction length of 242.95 kilometers. It starts from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province in the east and reaches Taiyuan, Shanxi Province in the west, passing through Jingxing, Yangquan, Shouyang and Yuci, and is connected with Beijing-Guangzhou and Shide railways in Shijiazhuang, Tongpu and Taijiao railways in Taiyuan, Yang She railway in Yangquan and Fengshan railway along the line. Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway has gone through a century, from narrow gauge to wide gauge, from single track to double track, from steam to electricity. Since September 195 1, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway has undergone five technical transformations. 1September 1982 The whole line was electrified, becoming the first double-track electrified railway in new China, which nearly doubled Shanxi's coal transportation volume, increased the upward traction from 2,400 tons to 3,300 tons, and increased the annual transportation capacity from more than 20 million tons to more than 40 million tons. In 2005, the New taiyuan railway administration was established and the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway Safety Standard Line was completed.
There are abundant mineral resources along Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway, including coal, iron, bauxite, refractory clay and limestone, among which coal is the most abundant. Anthracite and coking coal produced by Jingxing Mine in Hebei, Yangquan Mine in Shanxi and Xishan Mine in Taiyuan are not only supplied to domestic provinces, but also exported to foreign countries. They are important energy and heavy chemical bases in the country. The line runs from Shijiazhuang to the west, passes through Jingxing, a town on the western edge of North China Plain, advances westward along Mianhe Valley, passes through Niangziguan, one of the "Eight Taihang Veins", and enters Shanxi. Where the line passes, the terrain is undulating, the valley is narrow and the mountain is steep. It passes through the famous coal city Yangquan, along the Taohe River, and crosses the altitude of 165438+. There are many bends and steep slopes along the whole line. Bridges and tunnels are connected, and the terrain is extremely complicated. There are more than 600 bends and 58 tunnels with a total length of 22 kilometers. Maximum gradient: upward 15‰, downward 19‰.
1896 to 1907
Ten years from approval to opening to traffic
The construction of Zheng Tai Railway originated from the sponsorship of Hu Pin, governor of Shaanxi Province during Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty.
Hu Pinzhi is a man with mixed reputation in history. Shanxi's modern industry and education began during his tenure, and he betrayed Shanxi's road rights and mining rights. In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), Hu, a native of Hubei, was appointed as the governor of Shanxi. He praised his predecessor Zhang Zhidong's idea of using Shanxi Railway. In June, he wrote to the imperial court, demanding the construction of a railway branch line from Taiyuan to Zhengding, hoping to connect with the Han Jing Railway. In July, Emperor Guangxu approved it.
However, the Qing government at that time was willing but unable to do so. It was not until1May, 897 that the governor of Shanxi made a request to the court to borrow money from the Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank to build a road, and the project was formally established after the project was approved. 1898 On May 2/KLOC-0, the governor of Shanxi Province sent Cao Zhongyu, Shanxi Provincial Bureau of Commerce, to sign a contract with Pukedi, the agent of Sino-Russian Daosheng Bank, in the Foreign Affairs Office of the Prime Minister in Beijing. In order to reduce the cost, the contract agreed to move the starting point of the eastern end of Zheng Tai Railway from Zhengding South to Liulinpu (now Liulinpu, Qiaodong District, Shijiazhuang City), so Shanxi people also called it Tailiu Railway in history.
After the problem of money was solved, the railway did not start immediately, but encountered new troubles: the newly appointed governor of Shanxi, Yu Xian and Fan, put forward the view that "it is not suitable to build a railway in Shanxi" and asked the Qing government to temporarily stop its operation. The reason why it is not suitable is inseparable from the theory of "destroying Feng Shui". At that time, people were superstitious about it, not only in Shanxi, but also in Hebei. However, it was proved afterwards that it was because of the construction of Zheng Tai Railway that Shijiazhuang changed from a village to a leading metropolis in North China Plain. At that time, Huolu Town, one of the four major towns in Hebei Province, was caught up and surpassed by Shijiazhuang for fear of destroying Feng Shui. Otherwise, Shijiazhuang is only a deer-catching suburb at most.
A wave of unrest, another wave. 1900, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing and even forgot to build roads. It was not until February 1904 that the contract, which had been delayed for five years, was officially fulfilled and Zheng Tai Railway was ready to start construction. However, due to the French-Russian war and Russia's defeat, Dawson Bank of Russia transferred its creditor's rights to BNP Paribas. The construction of this railway was also handed over to the French.
At the beginning, the French also adopted the principle of "saving". First, it advocated adopting narrow gauge, and then, in order to avoid the Hutuo River Bridge, it advocated moving the starting point of the railway from Liulinpo south to Zhentou Town (also known as Zhentou). 1904, but the Qing government compromised, and the Zheng Tai Railway started in May of that year. It is worth mentioning that although it is a loan, except for the two sections from Shijiazhuang to Linglvling and Feilv Ridge to Xiapanshi, which are contracted by foreigners, most of the rest are borne by China people. China Minjian actually participated in the design and survey of Zheng Tai Railway, and undertook the construction of all bridges, tunnels and all ancillary buildings.
1907 to 1933
I have been doing business in France for 25 years.
1907 10, Zheng Tai railway was completed, which lasted three and a half years. After completion, the total length of the line is 243 kilometers, with 35 stations, 23 tunnels, more than 0,200 bridges and 65,438 tunnels, and the longest tunnel is 640 meters. The completion and opening to traffic of Zhengzhou-Taiyuan Railway, which experienced hardships, made Shanxi bid farewell to the history of no railway. The land of Sanjin rumbled into the first train representing industrial civilization and speed, and a traffic revolution that changed people's lives and promoted social progress began.
Since its opening to traffic for 25 years, BNP Paribas has been operating and managing. The French government paid off all the principal and interest of the loan in March 1932 and demanded to recover it. However, China used various excuses to delay and even asserted that China people could not manage such a railway. After the resolute struggle between the Zheng Tai Railway Reception Committee and the 3,000 employees of Zheng Tai Railway, the French side was forced to return the right of way 1933.
Only six years after the recovery, it met with the war of resistance.
Only more than six years after Zheng Tai Railway recovered its state ownership, it fell into the hands of the Japanese aggressors again. 1937 After the July 7th Incident, the Japanese invaded North China on a large scale, and in March of the following year, the Zheng Tai Railway was occupied by the Japanese. After the Japanese occupation, in order to meet the needs of military transportation and plundering Shanxi's resources, the technical transformation was carried out from1938165438+10 to10, and the narrow gauge used in Zheng Tai railway was changed to quasi-gauge, and
The Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway under the rule of the Japanese aggressors became the blockade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei anti-Japanese base area. On the night of August 20th, 1940, the Jinchaji Military Region129th Division and120th Division, under the unified command of the Eighth Route Army Headquarters, launched a campaign focusing on attacking Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway. Therefore, during the War of Liberation, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway was seriously damaged.
1945, Japanese imperialism surrendered, and Chiang Kai-shek provoked a civil war in August of the following year. In order to cooperate with the China People's Liberation Army in fighting against the enemy, residents in the liberated areas launched a comprehensive road-breaking struggle. 1947, 165438+ 10, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway was liberated except for the 25-kilometer line from Taiyuan to Yuci Station 4. Subsequently, under the leadership of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Border Railway Bureau, the railway restoration work began. In the liberation of Taiyuan, railway workers joined the army to repair railways. 1April, 1949, the entire Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway was reopened to traffic.
The establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC).
Implement five technical transformations.
After the founding of New China, in order to improve Shanxi's coal transportation capacity, the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway was technically reformed in stages from September 195 1. By 198 1 year 65438+February 18, the reconstruction project of Taiyuan East Station was completed and put into use, and the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan double-track line was fully connected. 1in April, 1974, the state approved the electrification transformation of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway to meet the needs of coal transportation growth in Shanxi. The Ministry of Railways set up the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway Engineering Command to review the design and organize the construction. Shiyang Section started construction on May 1975, started trial operation on September 9 1980 and put into operation on February 1980. Yang Tai section was started in May 1978 and put into operation on September 28th. The opening ceremony was held on September 29th, and it was put into operation on June 30th 10. The first double-track electrified railway in China was opened to traffic from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan North. This transformation completed the electrification transformation of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway and became the first double-track electrified railway in China.
Therefore, the transportation efficiency has been significantly improved. Compared with before electrification, the transportation volume has doubled to more than 40 million tons, the traction quota has increased from 2,200 tons to 3,500 tons, and the average traction weight has increased by 53.2%, which has played an important role in Shanxi coal transportation.
By 2006,
The annual freight volume has increased by 220 times.
Entering the 2nd1century, especially since the establishment of taiyuan railway administration on March 8th, 2005, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway has achieved ten landmark achievements through the large-scale construction of safety standard lines: comprehensive strengthening of line foundation, obvious strengthening of signal equipment, effective rectification of power supply facilities, technical monitoring of train service, brand-new platform and station building, obvious improvement of public security environment, obvious strengthening of basic management, comprehensive improvement of team quality, and continuous and stable safety production. The century-old Shitai Railway is full of youth and a brand-new look. Representatives of Shanxi Provincial People's Congress and CPPCC successively observed the achievements of railway construction, which were highly praised by the Ministry of Railways, Shanxi Provincial Party Committee and provincial government.
By 2006, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway had an average daily passenger train 13 pairs, with an annual passenger volume of 4.57 million passengers, from the initial annual freight volume of 3 10000 tons to the current annual freight volume of 69 million tons and 220 times.
Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway has been overloaded.
Built Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Passenger Dedicated Line
At present, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway, Tongpu Railway, Daqin Railway, Houyue Railway, Jingyuan Railway and Taijiao Railway jointly undertake railway transportation in Shanxi. According to the person in charge of taiyuan railway administration, the Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Railway has been overloaded.
On the morning of June 28th, 2005, the unveiling ceremony of Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Passenger Dedicated Line Co., Ltd., jointly built by the Ministry of Railways, Hebei Province and Shanxi Province, was held in Beijing. Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan (former) passenger dedicated line was started in June, 2005 1 1 at the junction of Nanliang and Taihang Mountain tunnels at the junction of Hebei and Shanxi. This is the first dedicated passenger line since the promulgation of the Medium and Long-term Railway Network Planning. After it was completed at the end of 2008, the train travel time from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan was shortened from 6 hours to 1 hour, which marked a large scale in China. Woo-hoo-hoo ... prosperity ... just ... the train returned. ...
