In the thirty-third year of Guangxu in June (1July, 907), the first railway in Fujian, Zhang Xia Railway, was started. After three years of construction, only a section of the railway from Zhangzhou Jiangdong Bridge to Xiamen Songyu has been completed, with a length of about 28 kilometers. Later, when War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out, the railway was sold. 1905, some overseas Chinese began to plan to build a railway in Fujian. A few years later, the earliest Zhangzhou-Xiamen railway in Fujian was built. As the starting station is Jiangdong Bridge, which is 0/7km away from Zhangzhou/KLOC-and the terminal is Songyu Island, which is 3km away from Xiahai, Zhang Xia Railway has become a cecal railway "before crossing the sea, then crossing the river". After the railway was opened, because there were few tourists, it suffered losses again and again and was finally forced to stop.
The planned Fuzhou-Mawei railway was put forward several times during the Republic of China, but it ended without results. 1 inch railway didn't exist in Fuzhou when new China was born in 1949.
1957 Fuzhou Railway Station is famous all over the country.
Fujian waited for half a century from building the first railway in the province to getting on the train.
In 1950s, Fujian began to build two railways, one is the yingtan-Xiamen railway (from yingtan, Jiangxi to Xiamen, Fujian) and the other is the Waifu railway (from Nanping to Fuzhou).
The yingtan-Xiamen Railway started construction in February 1955, and was put into operation in February 1958. It is the first railway for Fujian to go abroad. The Waifu Railway started in March 1956 and started operation in February 1959.
However, these two railways are winding, and they are both single-track low-grade third-class railways. Fuzhou Railway Station, located at the end of the railway, was built in 1957, but it was still quite famous in that year and was considered as one of the most beautiful and modern railway stations in China.
Fuzhou Railway Station has a construction area of nearly 10,000 square meters, with reasonable layout and beautiful appearance. The platform is also decorated with rockeries and other gardens. There are flower beds and fountains in the square in front of the station, surrounded by green grass, palm trees with southern characteristics stand in the sky, and the leafy magnolia trees exude fragrance; Waiting for the main building covers an area of nearly 6000 square meters, and each partition is fully functional.
But even so, Fujian railway construction has stagnated since then. The only Eagle House out of the province has become a railway bottleneck, trapping Fuzhou and even the whole province for about 40 years.
1997 the second outbound railway was opened.
Hengnan Railway, the second exit passage in Fujian, was opened to traffic on 30 February. 1997. Hengnan Railway runs from Hengfeng County, Jiangxi Province to Nanping City, Fujian Province, with a total length of 470 kilometers, passing through Lead Mountain in Jiangxi Province, Wuyishan in Fujian Province, Jianyang and Jian 'ou.
Since the Ninth Five-Year Plan, the railway construction in Fujian Province has been accelerated. Meikan Railway, Gan Long Railway and Zhangquanxiao Railway have been built successively, and the number of exit routes has also increased to four. However, these railways have low technical content, no double track, and the train speed does not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, which has not changed Fujian's embarrassing position as the "end" and "end highway" in the national railway network.
During this period, several national railway speed increases almost missed Fujian. Even with the latest speed increase, the trip from Fuzhou to Beijing has been shortened by half, which is also the result of the speed increase of railway diversion outside the province. Railway is still the most important traffic bottleneck restricting Fujian's economic development.
In 2007, railway construction was "accelerated" in an all-round way.
Fujian people's dream of "high-speed rail" began in the 1990s.
1993 March, Beijing Exhibition Hall. Fuzhou Exhibition Hall, the "National Exhibition of Achievements of Reform and Opening-up in Coastal Open Cities" being held here, attracts attention with a large number of bullet-shaped advertisements for investment promotion light boxes. At that time, Fujian proposed to introduce foreign capital to build a bullet train from Fuzhou to Xiamen. However, due to huge investment and other issues, it failed to do so.
In 2004, the construction of Wenfu Railway started, which indicated that the construction of Fujian express railway trunk line entered the stage of full implementation.
Starting from this year, Fujian plans to invest more than 654.38+000 billion yuan, and by 2065.438+02, it will basically build a "one vertical and two horizontal" rapid railway network. In 2005, fuzhou-xiamen railway started construction; In 2006, Xia Long Railway started construction. ...
In the next few years, Fujian will also promote the transformation of existing railways such as Waifu and yingtan-Xiamen Railway; Planning and construction of Zhejiang Ningde to Quzhou, Changting to Yongan Railway and other projects. Among them, Ningde-Quzhou Railway is a sea passage in the north of our province, which is connected with the planned Jiujingqu Railway and radiates inland areas.
At the same time, a number of port branches will also be started in the near future, mainly including Luoyuan Bay North Shore Railway Branch, Kemen Railway Branch, Jiangyin Railway Branch, Meizhou Bay North Shore Railway Branch, Quangang Railway Branch and Zhangzhou Development Zone Railway Branch. Formed a Fujian railway network extending in all directions.
