The Shanghai–Kunming High-Speed Railway is a high-speed railway line partially under construction in the People's Republic of China. It is part of the CRH's system of passenger dedicated lines, beginning in Shanghai and ending in Kunming. It will parallel much of the current lower-speed Shanghai–Kunming Railway. It will also pass through the cities of Hangzhou and Changsha.[1]
Status
Currently, the only section of the Shanghai–Kunming Passenger Dedicated Line in operation is the section from Shanghai to Hangzhou, known as the Shanghai–Hangzhou Passenger Railway.
The Hangzhou-Changsha Section is scheduled to open in September 2014. [2]
