11am, 31^st May witnesses the cargo train loaded with coal departing from HuJiahe Bin Chang mine district to the market ofEast China, which marked the completion and final operation of  the first special railway line of BinChang mine district, ending the 12-year history without train running in this district. This project is the first one that has been invested and completed by Shaanxi Coal and Chemical Industry Group in 2015.

BinChang mine district is one of the 13 large-scale coal bases acrossChina. This mine district used to be characterized by road transportation all the way, high-cost and heavy pollution. The railway line of BinChang mine district is connected to Mengche station of Pingliang line in Xi’an city, thus making possible nearly ten million tons of coal transportation annually.

In November, 2014, the project was officially launched, with BinChang mine industry coordinating with such departments as railway, transportation, environmental protection and electricity, in order to promote the construction of the project. After 7 months of persistent efforts, various difficulties were overcome, including the special line crossing highways and villages, land requisition, demolition and winter construction, thus ensuring the project completion on schedule. Against the backdrop of continued downturns in the coal market, the special line of coal railway in Hujiahe, BinChang district was built and opened to traffic, saving over 300 million yuan, which in turn brings numerous benefits:  alleviating transportation pressure, decreasing environmental pollution, extending coal market to other provinces, releasing management pressure.
