On September 19, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Special Railway Lines". By 2020, a batch of special railway lines will start construction, and the main coastal ports, large industrial and mining enterprises with an annual volume of bulk cargo of more than 1.5 million tons, and newly built logistics parks will all have access to special railway lines to 80%, and the main ports along the Yangtze River will be basically introduced Special railway line. Among them, Beijing plans to build Yizhuang Suburban Railway (Mercedes-Benz company railway line) and Jingping logistics hub railway construction projects before 2020.

The dedicated line is an important facility to solve the "last mile" problem of railway transportation, and plays an important role in reducing short barges, exerting comprehensive traffic efficiency, and improving economic and social benefits. In recent years, relevant departments, localities and enterprises have opened up the "last mile" of railways, smoothed the "micro-circulation", and the effects of structural adjustment such as "railway-to-railway" and iron-water combined transportation have initially appeared.

According to the development goals determined by the guiding opinions, by 2020, a batch of special railway lines will start construction, and the proportion of major coastal ports, large industrial and mining enterprises with an annual volume of bulk cargo of more than 1.5 million tons, and newly built logistics parks will reach 80%. %, the main ports of the Yangtze River trunk line have basically introduced special railway lines. By 2025, the main coastal ports, large industrial and mining enterprises with an annual volume of bulk cargo of more than 1.5 million tons, and the newly built logistics park dedicated railway lines will strive to reach 85% of the access ratio, and all major ports on the Yangtze River trunk line will achieve railway access.

The National Development and Reform Commission also disclosed key projects for this year and next, among which Beijing will build Yizhuang Suburban Railway (a special railway line for Mercedes-Benz) and the Jingping logistics hub railway construction project. The former is 13 kilometers and the latter is 14 kilometers.

The reporter learned that relevant departments will take the lead with railway enterprises to establish a docking mechanism, and in accordance with the principles of considerable transportation volume, mature basic conditions, and obvious effect of "return to railway", docking and investigating the construction needs of special railway lines in ports, enterprises and logistics parks within the jurisdiction. , sort out the list of large industrial and mining enterprises and new logistics parks with an annual freight volume of more than 1.5 million tons of bulk cargo, study and determine the overall goal of the construction of special railway lines, clarify the list of key construction projects of special railway lines, and refine and clarify the project promotion time node, implementation subject, Funding plans, etc.

In addition, when planning new passenger and freight common lines and freight dedicated railways, full consideration should be given to the access needs of dedicated railway lines along the line, and the demonstration of the direction and connection conditions of dedicated lines should be done at the same time. Completed and opened at the same time. If the conditions for simultaneous implementation are met, the newly-built railways shall provide favorable conditions for connection, and the connection stations shall be built according to the capacity of the dedicated line. If the conditions for simultaneous construction are not available for the time being, the newly built railways should make reservations for the connection conditions.

According to the guiding opinions, when the relevant enterprises put forward the demand for railway special line connection, the railway enterprise affiliated to the railway connection station should accept it unconditionally, and it is strictly forbidden to set a threshold or refuse to accept it. The rail connection station should be adapted according to the principle of smooth connection. In principle, with the rail connection point as the boundary, the railway enterprise shall transform the rail connection station and related facilities and equipment as needed and undertake its investment. When a dedicated railway line is connected to a busy trunk line and a railway station with a design speed of 200 kilometers per hour on a common line of passengers and goods, factors such as transportation safety, throat passing capacity, and engineering cost should be considered, and the necessity and construction timing of setting up a relief line should be fully demonstrated; When connecting, in principle, no decoupling line is set.

At the same time, in accordance with the goal of "running at most once", the procedures are simplified and the efficiency is improved. After accepting the application for the integration of the dedicated line, the railway enterprise shall, in principle, issue an opinion of agreeing to the integration within 20 working days. If the integration is not possible due to technical reasons, a written reply and relevant suggestions shall be made.

In terms of operation, private line property rights units make independent decisions, carry out operation and maintenance in accordance with market-oriented principles, and can adopt self-operated and entrusted operations. Further open up the dedicated line operation and maintenance market, allow engineering construction, equipment manufacturing, social logistics enterprises, etc. to participate in and provide related services, and encourage the establishment of regional and specialized railway dedicated line operation and maintenance mechanisms and enterprises.
