On the morning of March 30, 2024, with bright sunshine, the Qiaowan Public Railway Logistics Park in Guazhou County was bustling with people and a lively atmosphere. On this day, the groundbreaking ceremony for the highly anticipated Zhongsheng Haotong Bridge Bay Public Railway Logistics Railway Special Line Project was held here. This project not only carries the ambitious goal of Guazhou County to focus on coal transportation from Xinjiang and build an important coal storage, transportation, and supply guarantee base in the western region, but also serves as an important engine for promoting high-quality local economic development.

The total investment of Zhongsheng Haotong Qiaowan Public Railway Logistics Railway Special Line Project is as high as 567 million yuan, consisting of three major parts: railway special line, coal storage base, and transportation road, forming a complete and efficient logistics system. The project mainly operates warehousing and rail logistics services for electric coal, coking coal, and blue coal, with an annual transportation volume of an astonishing 8 million tons. Behind this number is the careful consideration and precise layout of Guazhou County for the future development of the coal industry.

Huo Xingjun, General Manager of Zhongsheng Haotong Qiaowan Public Railway Logistics Co., Ltd., stated in an interview that the construction of the Zhongsheng Haotong Qiaowan Public Railway Logistics Railway Special Line project officially began on March 30th and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of October. The completion of this project will significantly improve the efficiency and competitiveness of coal distribution in Guazhou County, and promote the transformation of the coal industry towards efficient and clean utilization. At the same time, it will also serve as an important support for coal upstream and downstream collaborative projects, helping the high-quality development of the entire industry chain.

In addition, the General Manager of Huoxingjun also mentioned that after the completion of the project, it can achieve an annual output value of 8 billion yuan, contribute 50 million yuan in tax revenue to local finance, and also create more than 200 employment opportunities for the local area. This number not only reflects the significant driving effect of the project on the local economy, but also highlights its positive contribution in promoting employment and improving people's livelihoods.

As an important transportation infrastructure, the construction of the Zhongsheng Haotong Bridge Bay Public Railway Logistics Railway Special Line Project will further improve the regional transportation network, enhance logistics efficiency, and reduce logistics costs. This will inject new vitality into the economic development of Guazhou County and even surrounding areas, and promote the formation of a more open, efficient, and convenient logistics system.

With the completion and operation of the Zhongsheng Haotong Bridge Bay Public Railway Logistics Railway Special Line Project, the coal storage and transportation guarantee capacity of Guazhou County will be further improved, providing strong guarantees for the country's energy security and economic development.Editor/Cheng Liting
