en.Wedoany.com Reported - At 8:47 a.m. on May 29, as EMU train No. 55302 slowly departed from Xi'an East Station, the trial operation of the Shaanxi section of the Xi'an-Shiyan High-Speed Railway officially commenced.

The Xi'an-Shiyan High-Speed Railway is an important component of the national "Eight Vertical and Eight Horizontal" high-speed rail network and also a crucial "stroke" in Shaanxi's "米"-shaped high-speed rail network. This high-speed railway passes through the three cities of Xi'an, Shangluo, and Shiyan, connecting to the already completed Wuhan-Shiyan High-Speed Railway. The newly built main line is approximately 256 kilometers long, with a design speed of 350 kilometers per hour.

It is understood that the trial operation of the Hubei section of the Xi'an-Shiyan High-Speed Railway began on May 22. Today, alongside the start of trial operations for the Shaanxi section, the connecting line from Xi'an North to Xi'an East hub and the main line from the Gengzhen Line Station of the Xi'an-Yan'an High-Speed Railway to Xi'an East Station also commenced trial operations simultaneously. This marks the full transition of the Xi'an-Shiyan High-Speed Railway into the final sprint phase before opening.

After opening for operation, the travel time from Xi'an to Shiyan will be reduced to about 1 hour, Xi'an to Xiangyang is expected to take 2 hours, and Xi'an to Wuhan will be reachable in 3 hours. This will further improve the national high-speed railway network and strengthen the connection between the Guanzhong Plain urban agglomeration and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River urban agglomeration.
