Tunnel drilled on major China railway

A tunnel on the new Chengdu-Kunming railway was drilled through on Wednesday, marking a further step toward the completion of the whole railway project. The new Chengdu-Kunming railway, which runs almost parallel to an existing railway between the two cities, is a key project linking Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. The tunnel is on the Emei-Miyi section of the railway, the only section that has yet to be opened for operation, according to China Railway No 5 Engineering Group.
