CCTV News: High temperature weather has significantly released electricity demand, leading to a strong rebound in the thermal coal market and a significant increase in market demand. How to ensure timely transportation of coal is also an important task for ensuring the supply of electric coal at present. The railway department fully leverages the backbone role of railway coal transportation, accurately allocates transportation capacity, and prioritizes meeting the demand for electric coal transportation.
The Haoji Railway is the longest coal transportation strategic corridor in the country, mainly providing energy security for central China regions such as Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi. At the command center of the Yan'an operation and maintenance section of the Haoji Railway, the reporter saw that several electronic displays were covered with densely packed route maps. The station duty officer had to continuously monitor the real-time operation of the train from arrival to departure 24 hours a day.

Jingbian North Station is the largest coal shipping station on the Haoji Railway, and has been operating at a high level recently due to the increasing demand for coal supply. In order to efficiently transport coal quickly, a fast quantitative loading system has been installed at the coal logistics container station, which can accurately load coal into each carriage. It only takes about 1 minute for 80 tons of coal to be loaded into the carriage, and it only takes one and a half hours to fill a 10000 ton coal transport train.
At present, the Haoji Railway has an average daily loading of 2646 electric coal vehicles and sends 184000 tons of coal per day, an increase of 31.7% year-on-year.

To accelerate the efficiency of coal transportation, the railway department also fully utilizes the transportation role of 10000 ton trains.
Since 2023, China Railway Group has fully leveraged the backbone role of railway coal transportation, making good use of the main channels of "North South Coal Transportation" and "West East Coal Transportation" such as Daqin, Haoji, and Lanxin, enhancing the transportation capacity of coal production areas such as Shanxi, Shaanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Xinjiang, accurately increasing transportation capacity, prioritizing the demand for electric coal transportation, and ensuring smooth and efficient electric coal transportation.
