To complete the track laying with high quality, workers have set up a rail transfer station at Huaihua West Marshalling Station, effectively solving the problem of long-haul shipping of rails, according to a manager of the Chongqing-Huaihua Railway project from a company under China Railway 25th Bureau Group. According to the construction plan, Chongqing and Hunan are currently advancing synchronously to ensure the main line can be open by the end of September, and the whole line can be opened to traffic by the end of the year.
