Railway transport booming in Xinjiang

The carrying capacity of a single train is improved, which has relieved the pressure at peak hours, said Zhang Hao, director of operations at the railway depot in Urumqi. Zhang said the branch has also added more trains in the region to meet the demand.

"For example, Urumqi-Zhundong railway that connects three National Economic and Technological Development Zones increased the frequency of train pairs that operate daily from 45 to 53," Zhang said.
