Honghui railway

The Honghui railway is a railway line in Baiyin, Gansu, China. It was built in the early 1970s to allow the export of coal, and was opened in 1974. The line has also been used for the export of crops. The line branches from the Baotou–Lanzhou railway north of Baiyin West railway station. It continues east towards its terminus at Honghui railway station in Pingchuan District. Passenger services operate between Baiyin West and Changzheng railway station.

The Baiyin–Zhongwei section of the Yinchuan–Lanzhou high-speed railway will roughly parallel the line.
