New HSR line from Chongqing to Guiyang(Guizhou prov) open yesterday replacing an old line built in 1950. It will provide Chongqing with sea connection to Guangxi and on to SEA
It cuts travel time between two cities from 10 to 2 hours. Also, the new line is expected to improve traffic between China's southwest and southern areas.
Construction of the 347 km line had been launched on December 22 2010. The total cost of the project was 53·1bn yuan, including 2·2bn yuan for rolling stock. Trial running began on October 12 2017.
The route is generally similar to that of the existing railway, but shorter with 75% of the alignment being in 115 tunnels or on 209 bridges. The minimum curve radius is 5 500 m.

CHONGQING/GUIYANG, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Trains started running between Chongqing and Guiyang in southwest China Thursday, as a new link opened as part of a sea-rail route between the landlocked west and Southeast Asia.
Forty-six bullet trains will run on the 347-km rail line, which was designed for trains running at a speed of 200 km per hour.
The line cuts travel time between Chongqing and Guiyang from the current 10 hours to 2 hours.
A total of 209 bridges, 115 two-way tunnels and 12 stations were built for the new railway. The line will improve traffic between China's southwest, a major source of migrant workers, and booming southern areas.
The line was designed to gradually replace the primitive Sichuan-Guizhou railway constructed between the 1950s and 1970s. The old line has hampered a sea-rail transit route linking Chongqing, Guizhou, Guangxi and Singapore that opened in 2017.
Low design standards, in addition to towering cliffs and ravines along the route, shackled the traffic speed of the old line, according to Dai Xu with the Chongqing railway station.
Although freight services of bulk commodities will not be available for the new line for the time being, Mou Chenggang with Guizhou's railway construction office said the new line would relieve pressure on the old one.
High hopes have been placed on the railway to change the life of people in Guizhou, which is at the forefront of China's anti-poverty campaign.
Tongzi county in Guizhou receive more than 200,000 visitors from Chongqing each year. It is set to be more popular after the rail line shortens the travel time between Chongqing and the county to one hour.
Many Chongqing tourists booked rooms for summer this year, learning about the opening of the Chongqing-Guiyang line, according to Xiong Yongqiang, Party chief of Longtai Village, Tongzi.
"Villages are busy improving infrastructure and cleaning the environment to attract tourists," Xiong said.
Optimistic about the county's tourism prospect, a local privately-owned company poured 400 million yuan (63 million U.S. dollars) into building a tourist project featuring the culture of the Miao ethnic minority. It consists of a tea garden and Miao-style inns, offering jobs to local poor families.
He Wenxiu, a farmer from Xingfu Village of Zunyi City, is among 360 villagers working as inspectors along the rail line. He is responsible for a small section in the Dalou Mountain. Earning 2,500 yuan a month, he and two fellow villagers work 24 hours a day in three shifts.
"I farmed for most of my life, and finally got a stable job like this," He said.
It take them 8 years to built because of mountaneous terrain and tunneling

Hard working Chinese
Incredible speed! 1,500 Chinese workers connect a new high-speed railway with three existing lines, in 8 and 1/2 hours. xhne.ws/NC0cp
Some of the funny comment
Meanwhile in Europe it take 3 guys working, 15 guys watching and giving orders and 2 weeks to resurface the 250m road in front of my house
Same in the U.S., except they need one more guy in charge of buying donuts and coffee.
Giacc S Don't forget, we also have to have a meeting to decide where to get the donuts.

Anyone with more in-depth information as to how the Sanchi oil spill in the ECS is being handled? This is obviously a good opportunity for international co-operation which is supposedly happening, as well as apparently a unique opportunity for scientific discovery in mitigating the negative effects of this type of oil spill.
Sitrep as of Tuesday:
China’s undersea robots find hole in leaking tanker but next move unclear
The unique scientific circumstances:
The World Has Never Seen an Oil Spill Like This
