Shanghai-Hancheng high-speed railway 沪汉蓉高速铁路

The Shanghai-Hancheng high-speed railway, also known as the Shanghai-Hancheng Express Passenger Transport Corridor, is a high-speed railway under construction in China with a total length of 2,078 kilometers. It starts from Shanghai and passes through Nanjing, Hefei, Wuhan, Chongqing and other cities to Chengdu. The design speed is 200 kilometers per hour, and the journey time on the entire line is about 10 hours, which is more than 20 hours faster than the current express train from Shanghai to Chengdu. This line is the longest “one horizontal” among China’s “four vertical and four horizontal” passenger lines. It will serve China’s east coast, central China and southwestern regions. It is expected to be completed and put into use in 2011.

沪汉蓉高速铁路，亦称沪汉蓉快速客运通道，是中国一条兴建中的高速铁路，全长2078公里，由上海出发，途经南京、合肥、武汉、重庆等城市，到达成都。设计速度为每小时200公里，全线行车时间约10小时，比现时由上海至成都的快车节省二十多小时。该线是中国“四纵四横”客运专线中的最长的“一横”，将会服务中国华东沿海地区、华中地区和西南地区，预计2011年全部建成启用。
