The Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway opens on June 16. XINHUA

 

Train 5818 slowly pulled out from Hotan Station in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region and galloped toward its destination on June 16. This marked the official opening of the Hotan-Ruoqiang Railway.

6月16日，5818次首發(fā)列車從新疆和田站緩緩駛出，朝著目的地疾馳而去。這標志著和若鐵路（和田市至若羌縣）正式通車運營。

 

As soon as Kurbanhan got into the carriage, she called her family. The 26-year-old Uygur girl couldn’t hide her excitement when she got onto the train for the first time. Kurbanhan’s home lies in the countryside of Yutian County, over 1,000 kilometers from Urumqi. In 2013, in order to get to her university in Urumqi, she had to spend two days riding in a pickup truck from her home to the county, and another four-hour drive to Hotan before finally taking the train to Urumqi.

庫爾班罕一上車就給家人打了電話，第一次坐上（開往家門口的）列車，這個26歲的維吾爾族姑娘難掩興奮。庫爾班罕的家在于田縣達里雅布依鄉(xiāng)，距離烏魯木齊1000多公里。2013年，為了去烏魯木齊上大學，庫爾班罕不得不坐著皮卡車，花了兩天時間從家里到縣城，接著又坐4個小時的汽車趕到和田市，才終于坐上去烏魯木齊的火車。

 

The 825-kilometer line links the city of Hotan with the county of Ruoqiang in southern Xinjiang.

和若鐵路西起新疆和田地區(qū)和田市，東至巴音郭楞蒙古自治州若羌縣，全長825公里。

 

It is designed for trains running up to 120 kilometers per hour, cutting travel time between Hotan and Ruoqiang to 11.5 hours.

這條鐵路時速高達120公里，將和田市至若羌縣的旅程縮短至11.5小時。

 

It is the last section of the 2,712-km-long loop line circling the Taklimakan Desert, China’s largest desert. Its completion forms the world’s first railway loop circling a desert.

環(huán)中國最大沙漠塔克拉瑪干沙漠的鐵路環(huán)線全長2712公里，和若鐵路補齊了環(huán)線的“最后一塊拼圖”，世界首條環(huán)沙漠鐵路線建成。

 

Two passenger trains are scheduled each day, as well as eight freight trains that will transport cotton, walnuts, dates and other commodities to the rest of China. “The line brings railway service to new places in southern Xinjiang, boosting socio-economic development and promoting rural vitalization in the region,” China Daily noted.

和若鐵路開通運營后，鐵路部門將安排開行旅客列車2列和貨物列車8列，沿線的棉花、核桃、紅棗等商品可通過鐵路直通運達內地?！吨袊請蟆穲蟮乐赋?“和若鐵路結束了南疆多地不通火車的歷史，促進了地區(qū)經濟社會發(fā)展，繪就了鄉(xiāng)村振興之路。”

 

About 65 percent of the new line – 534 kilometers – is in the sand and storm zone, which made construction tremendously difficult. According to China Daily, since starting in December 2018, more than 20,000 builders have worked hard in extreme weather, with frequent sandstorms and temperatures as high as 42 C and severe cold as low as -25 C.

和若鐵路有534公里分布在風沙區(qū)域，占線路總長的65%，鐵路建設因此面臨巨大困難。據(jù)《中國日報》報道，自2018年12月開工建設以來，和若鐵路的兩萬多名建設者在極端天氣下辛勤工作。沙漠中沙塵暴頻發(fā)，高溫可達42攝氏度，嚴寒又可低至零下25攝氏度。

 

In areas with strong wind and shifting sand dunes, designers built bridges to allow the sand and wind to pass beneath them, reducing potential harm to the rail line. Grass, trees and shrubs have also been planted along the rail line as barricades against sand. “Sand control comes before railway construction,” Wang Jinzhong, an engineer on the railway, told China Daily.

在風沙大、沙丘動態(tài)遷移嚴重的地段，建設者們修建“過沙橋”，讓風沙從橋下穿過，降低沿線風沙對線路的潛在危害。和若鐵路沿線還種植草、喬木、灌木等，成為防沙護路的屏障。鐵路工程師王盡忠在接受《中國日報》采訪時表示：“防沙比修筑鐵路更重要。”

 

Workers created straw grids near the railway line and planted nearly 13 million shrubs and trees, Wang said.

王盡忠說，和若鐵路的建設者在沿線修建草方格，種植喬木和灌木近1300萬株。

 

“Tall trees are planted along the outer areas to reduce wind speeds, while shrubs have been planted along the inner areas of the railway to fix the sand problem,” Wang added.

王盡忠補充道，“鐵路外側高大的喬木能降低風速，靠近鐵路的灌木則固定流沙。”
