For article names of Chinese railways, the full name of the railway (i.e. both terminal cities) should always be spelled out, rather than merely the two character abbreviation. When the abbreviations are transliterated into English, essential identifying information is lost. E.g. Xiangyu, Xianggui, Xiangpu Railways all have different “Xiang” characters. Many English readers may be unfamiliar with one-character abbreviations of certain Chinese cities and provinces. For consistency and clarity, Wikipedia article names of Chinese railways should always feature the full names. In-article references can use abbreviated names. ContinentalAve (talk)

I agree with what has been said above. Not every reader knows what "Chengyu" is about. It is even diffictult for them to recognize that "Chengyu" is an abbreviation standing for Chengdu and Chongqing. Therefore, I reconmend this article to restore to the last version with the title of "Chengdu–Chongqing Railway".

Besides, a standard to name other Chinese railways should be estblished. Hopefully editors here can have better communication with those from zh.wikipedia before making determination.
