China renovates railway to serve quake zone reconstruction
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-11 11:06 China has begun renovating a railway that links Sichuan province's capital Chengdu and neighboring Xi'an province's Baoji city to better serve reconstruction in earthquake-hit areas. Xi'an Railway Bureau dispatched more than 5,000 workers and 150 large scale vehicles to renovate the Baoji-Chengdu railway starting May 9. The repair work, covering rail grinding and railroad switch replacing, is scheduled to last 50 days.
The 8.0-magnitude earthquake damaged the southern section of the railway and caused collapse of No 109 tunnel in Gansu province on May 12. The collapse resulted in a blaze on a train carrying gasoline. The tunnel was reopened to traffic 12 days later and a new tunnel was built to the north side of the old one five months later with steel-reinforced concrete. The new tunnel opened to traffic on November 12. (For more biz stories, please visit Industries)
