Jiayuguan–Ceke railway


The Jiayuguan–Ceke railway or Jiace railway is a railway in northwestern China between Jiayuguan in Gansu Province and Ceke, a border post in Ejin Banner of Inner Mongolia on the China-Mongolian border. The railway is in length and was built from April 2004 to June 2007, and was financed by the Jiuquan Steel Company for its exclusive use to transport coal from Inner Mongolia and Mongolia. It is the longest railway financed by an enterprise in China. The line connects the Lanzhou-Xinjiang and the Linhe-Ceke railway. Planning is under way for a extension of the railway into Mongolia's Nariin Sukhait mining complex. In 2011 and 2012, the line carried, respectively, 1.21 and 1.17 million metric tons of coal.
