Tianjin–Baoding Intercity Railway, also known as Tianjin-Baoding Passenger Line, is a high-speed railway line in China, connecting Tianjin and the Hebei city of Baoding. Starting from Tianjin West Railway Station and finally to Baoding Railway Station, the railway length is 158 km and with a maximum design speed of 250 km. The project was jointly developed by the Ministry of Railways, Tianjin and Hebei Provincial Governments, supplying a total investment of 24 billion yuan. Construction began in March 2010 and the original plan was to be opened to traffic in 2013,[1] however the progress of construction has experienced numerous work stoppages with completion delayed until December 28, 2015.[2][3] Future high speed railconnections have been proposed to branch off this line to the new Beijing Daxing International Airport currently under construction, allowing this airport to serve the greater Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
