The Zhangping–Longyan railway, also called the Zhanglong railway (漳龙铁路), 68 km (42 mi) in length, was built from 1958 to 1961 as a spur off the Yingtan–Xiamen railway to transport coal from southwestern Fujian. This line should not be confused for the Zhangping–Longchuan railway, of which it is a constituent section.
The Meizhou–Kanshi railway or Meikan railway (梅坎铁路), 147 km (91 mi) in length, between Meizhou, Guangdong and Kanshi, Fujian, completed in 1999 and began operation in September 2000.[1] The Meikan railway was the first rail link between the two provinces.
The Longchuan to Meizhou section of the Guangzhou–Meizhou–Shantou railway, 147 km (91 mi) in length, between Longchuan, Guangdong and Kanshi, Fujian, completed in 1995.
The Zhangping–Longchuan railway, which was created with the opening of the Meizhou–Kanshi railway, shortened the rail travel distance from Fuzhou to Guangzhou by over 500 km (311 mi).[1]
