Jinghan railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jinghan railway (京汉铁路) is a railway line extending from Beijing, in Hebei Province to Hankou in Hubei province, now part of the Jingguang Railway. Across the Yangtze river in Wuchang was another line, the Canton - Hankou Railway that ran from Canton to Wuchang. Before the First Chang River Bridge was built in 1957, linking the two railways it could take up to an entire day to barge railcars across the Yangtse River to the other line.
