Henan Province and Shangluo, Weinan
and Xian in Shaanxi Province. The main line skirts Hubei Province near Sui County.

History

Planning of the Nanjing-Xian railway began in early 1990s to bring railway service to a 400–500 km void in China's railway network between the Longhai railway to the north and

Shanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu passenger railway
.

The construction of the second track of the Xi'an-Hefei section officially started in December 2012.[4] The Shaanxi section opened on December 11, 2015,[5] the Hubei section opened on December 15, 2015, and the Henan section and Anhui section opened on December 21, 2015.[6][7]

The newly constructed double track uses continuously-welded track.[8]

The line has been partly electrified. Electrification was completed between Nanjing and Yeji on 8 December 2015.[9]
