XI'AN - A railway in Northwest China's Shaanxi province on which a cargo freight derailed on Friday morning resumed service on Friday evening after 10 hours of closure, according to the local railway bureau. By 7:25 pm, the section of the Baocheng Railway, a rail trunk linking Baoji city in Shaanxi and Chengdu in Southwest China's Sichuan province, had been repaired and was ready to be reopened, said the spokesman. At about 9:30 am, a freight train derailed in a tunnel on the section between Qingshiya and Qinling Mountain, with no casualties caused. Some passenger trains were delayed as a result of the closure. Local railway authorities allotted over 700 rescuers to move the derailed train and repair the railway line.
Train driver's quick action prevents tragedy

Two carriages of the passenger train fell into a river after floods destroyed the Shitingjiang Bridge on the Baocheng Railway in Guanghan City, Southwest China's Sichuan province Thursday afternoon. No casualties were reported, as the driver made an emergency stop and ordered all the passengers off the train before it derailed.

The Baocheng Line runs from the plains of the Sichuan Basin to the Wei River Valley. It traverses the Qin Mountains , the east-west range that divides northern from southern China. The line has 304 tunnels and 1,001 bridges, which collectively account for 17% of the total track length. In Baoji, the line meets the Longhai Railway , on which trains can travel east to Xian and the Central Plains or west to Lanzhou and the northwest .

HISTORY The opening of the first electrified railway in China on August 15, 1961. (Baocheng Railway, Baoji - Fengzhou section). The Baocheng Line was originally proposed in Sun Yat-sen's 1913 China National Railway Plan as part of the Datong-Chengdu Railway. Construction began in Chengdu on July 1, 1952 and from Baoji in January 1954. The line opened on January 1, 1958. The Baoji-Fengzhou section electrified in 1961, becoming the first railway to be electrified in the country. The entire line was electrified in 1971. Construction of a second track between Chengdu and Yangpingguan began in 1993 and was completed in 1999. From Yangpingguan to Baoji, the line remains single-track. The railway was badly damaged by the 2008 Sichuan earthquake . The Baoji–Chengdu Railway, together with the Xi'an-Baoji section of the Longhai Railway , presently forms the main railway route between Xi'an and Chengdu (and, in general, between North China and Sichuan). However, the Xi\'an–Chengdu High-Speed Railway , now under construction between these two cities (work started in 2010-2012), is expected to take over much of the passenger traffic on this route.
