During this period, the design plan was continuously revised, improved and optimized. On the basis of all stable design and investment, the preliminary design of Baoyin High-speed Railway (including Yinba branch) was fully approved on September 17.

The new Baotou-Yinchuan high-speed railway project is an important part of the Beijing-Lanzhou corridor, the main corridor of the eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed railways in the National Medium and Long-term Railway Network Planning. The residents of Alxa pay attention. The whole line of the railway is constructed in accordance with the standards of National Railway Class I, single-track, electrified, and 200 kilometers per hour operating EMU trains, with a total length of about 115 kilometers (of which about 75 kilometers in Alxa and about 40 kilometers in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region). The investment is nearly 6.9 billion yuan.

After the project is completed, it will be integrated into the national high-speed railway network by connecting to the Yinchuan High-speed Railway Station, so as to realize the east-west connection of the railway arteries of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the fast and seamless connection with the surrounding important city groups such as Ningxia, Shaanxi, and Gansu. The region is developing in economy and society. Editor/He Yuting
