The railway coal transportation project from Mengxi to Central China is known as China's new strategic transportation channel for “Northern Coal Southward Transportation” and the largest coal transportation line in China. There are 85 stations on the whole line of 1,837 kilometers. The planned transportation capacity is more than 200 million tons per year, and the construction period is five years. Its construction has important strategic significance foroptimizing the national energy strategy, developing coal resources in the Inner Mongolia-Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, and ensuring energy supply in central China area, including provinces such as Hubei, Hunan, and Jiangxi.
