Hankou–Danjiangkou railway
The Hankou–Danjiangkou railway or Handan railway, is a railroad in central China between Wuhan and Danjiangkou in Hubei Province. The line is long and follows the Han River from Wuhan's Hankou District north to Danjiangkou near the border with Henan Province. The line was built from 1958 to 1966 and double-tracked in 2009. Major cities and towns along route include Wuhan, Anlu, Suizhou, Zaoyang, Xiangyang, Laohekou and Danjiangkou.
This line along with Xiangyang–Chongqing Railway is the traditional route linking Sichuan and Chongqing with Eastern China. After the completion of Yichang-Wanzhou Railway the line's importance decreased slightly but many conventional trains still use this route.Rail connections
