 * Yes indeed. The more so that certain maps, some well-reputed, only show city names in local language, which does not always mean much to everybody :) Cfr. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=9/43.8821/86.7796 for an example.Jan olieslagers (talk) 19:40, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, it would be nice to have the usual railway route diagram/illustration. Ideally for this route AND for its parallel alternative.Jan olieslagers (talk) 19:40, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Quad track?
I am puzzled by the phrase "A new double-track line between Ürümqi and Jinghe was built in 2009 to supplement the Northern Xinjiang railway." This suggests that between Ürümqi and Jinghe at least three tracks are available: at least one from the existing line, and two from the newly added one. However when I consult OpenStreetMap, I find two separate lines, one called Lanzhou–Ürümqi High-Speed Railway or Lanxin High-Speed Line, the other Lanxin Line or Lanzhou–Xinjiang Railway, however both are single track for the greater part of their length, though they split to double track shortly before entering Ürümqi station from the South. Is OpenStreetMap wrong, or did something get "lost in translation"? What is the factual situation today? Jan olieslagers (talk) 23:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
