Where does the Han Jing Railway start?

The northern end of Han Jing Railway extends from Zhengyangmen (Qianmen) West Station in Beijing to Yudaimen in Hankou at the southern end. Han Jing Railway, formerly known as Luhan Railway (a part of Beijing-Guangzhou Railway), was the first railway that China Qing government prepared to build by itself after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Sheng Xuanhuai, Tianjin Guandao, is the minister in charge of supervision and plans to build the Luhan Railway. At the end of 1898, the north and south ends started at the same time, 1905 1 15 Zhengzhou Yellow River Bridge was completed. 1 April 906/day, the whole line was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 12 14 km, and was renamed as Han Jing Railway. 20 19, 12 Han Jing Railway was selected as the "List of Industrial Heritage Protection in China (Second Batch)" sponsored by the Coordination and Propaganda Department of China Branch and jointly undertaken by the Innovation Strategy Research Institute of China Association for Science and Technology and urban planning society of china.

Influence of Jing-Han Railway;

After opening to traffic, its business has been developed. Under the influence of the Boxer Rebellion and the pressure of the people all over the country to reclaim the railway sovereignty, the Qing government went through many twists and turns. Finally, in the month of 65438+ 1.909, we allocated 5 million taels of silver to the government, borrowed 50,000 pounds from two banks, namely HSBC and Credit Suisse, paid off the loan of Han Jing Railway, redeemed the railway and recovered the right to operate Han Jing Railway. The completion of the Beijing-Han Railway has broken the traditional traffic network pattern of relying only on waterways and postal routes. Since then, Wuhan has entered the period of land-water combined transport, with trains and ships serving passengers together, reaching Shanghai in the east, Chongqing in the west and Beijing in the north. The downtown area is no longer limited to a corner of the concession along the river, and the rapid prosperity along the railway has a great influence on the changes in Hankou urban area. Even the area from Qiaokou to Chenjiaji, where there is only one thatched cottage, has become "three miles away".
