New lines with a total length of 4,208 kilometers were put into operation, including 2,168 kilometers of high-speed railways. The length of railways in operation in China exceeded 150,000 kilometers, including more than 40,000 kilometers of high-speed railways.
Transport support capacity was further enhanced. The freight traffic volume of national railways grew for three consecutive years, reaching 3.72 billion tons, with a year-on-year increase of 4.0%. A total of 15,000 CRE trains were operated, carrying 1.46 million TEUs throughout the year, with a year-on-year increase of 22% and 29% respectively.
