China renovates railway to serve quake reconstruction
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2009-05-10 19:08 XI'AN -- China has begun renovating a railway that links Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan province, and Baoji city of Shaanxi province 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.
