History of Danyang Railway Station

As early as 1995, Danyang Station was served by the 34th express train (Shanghai~Tianjin), and in 1998, the number of scheduled passenger trains at Danyang Station had already reached as many as 65. The reason is very simple, Danyang has always been the existence of the car section, Danyang car section directly belongs to the then Shanghai Railway Bureau Nanjing Branch, in the status of the equivalent of first-class station. After entering the 21st century, Danyang station is slowly rising, between 02 and 03, the number of scheduled passenger trains reached a peak, as many as 74. But since December 24, 2003, Danyang car section withdrawn, Danyang station to Zhenjiang station management, Danyang began to taste the bitter fruits of speed, nearly a decade of time, there is no express train stops, and even the intercity express train across Danyang, the number of scheduled passenger trains has been hovering around 60 trips. This has left a bad impression on people - that Danyang station is a small station. This influence has continued until now, and today when the express and rolling stock trains stop at Danyang, until March 18, 2006, according to the Shanghai Railway Bureau and the Bureau's Party Committee jointly issued the "Notice on Adjusting the Layout of Transportation Productivity" (Shanghai Railway Laohuifa 〔2006〕 No. 64), which "merged the Zhenjiang Direct Station with the Changzhou Direct Station, and called it the Changzhou Direct Station. " Only then was Danyang Station assigned to the jurisdiction of Changzhou directly under the station.

In June of the same year, Changzhou directly under the station reset workshop management, Danyang Station is still under the jurisdiction of Lvcheng, Lingkou, Sanshan three intermediate stations, jurisdiction of 44 kilometers long. From now on, Danyang station and Zhenjiang station only rank on the different, but not the status of the high and low. 2007, before the six mention, the mountain rain, just when the Shanghai-Nanjing line stations line high platform transformation, Danyang station has not moved. But on January 15, the intercity express train Zijin - T740/T739 (Nanjing West ~ Ningbo) two-way stop Danyang, once again invigorated countless fans, although only stopping for a short period of three months, but this is completely Danyang station take off the harbinger! Later the Danyang municipal government for the Danyang station high platform, waiting room, ticket hall construction and remodeling *** investment of 10.6 million yuan. Finally, Danyang Station became one of the few county-level stations that docked a moving train set on the day of the Sixth Tee (April 18th). This, Yangzi newspaper also can not be denied, will be Danyang Kunshan side by side for publicity.

1907~2007 Danyang Railway Station is 100 years old!

Year repaired and printed "Danyang County Continuation" is a sequel to the Qing Guangxu "Danyang County Record". It follows the previous record, recorded from 1885 ~ 1911 years of our county's natural social, human economic and other aspects of the situation. In the newly added Volume 23, "Local Autonomy-Transportation", the article "Railroads" records: "The Shanghai-Nanjing Railroad in the county was opened to traffic in September of the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907) .... ...The main station is at Chenjiaqiao, two miles outside the county's northern city. ..." Its few dozens of words, the historian's penmanship, without comment, but clearly show us a new thing flourishing!

Limited to the lack of written records, we can not know the people of Danyang at the time of the railroad's views. But still "Danyang County," immediately after the "railroad" article and "industrial" records. Its cloud: "Guangxu thirty-three years, people Dong Jichang, etc. to recruit shares of foreign exchange three thousand yuan, the purchase of the north gate to the train station outside the field, the opening of the road, specializing in picking up the barge goods, transport travel two things." This is the county's earliest Fuyang Industrial Co., Ltd. and this Fuyang Road also became the county's first road. Visible, the new Shanghai-Nanjing Railway, the emerging train transportation is not like the early years as a foreign body, not to mention the people's resistance, it instead led to the revitalization of the industrial economy, promoting the development of the city!

Danyang Station in the early Republic of China for passenger and freight transportation business of the second-class intermediate station. Republic of China 2 years (1913), Danyang station daily parking 3 pairs: Shanghai and Nanjing slow passenger 1 pair, 1 pair of fast passenger, Ning Chang interval car 1 pair. By the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), Danyang Station stopped 6 pairs of trains per day. Before the war, it increased to 9 pairs, including one pair of express trains. At that time from Danyang to Shanghai, fast passenger to 5 hours and 6 minutes, slow passenger needs 7 hours and 3 minutes; Danyang to Nanjing, fast passenger 2 hours and 19 minutes, slow passenger 2 hours and 59 minutes. Rarely, Danyang station passenger and freight transportation is very prosperous. Zhenjiang transportation history" statistics: the first year of opening (1908), all stations in Zhenjiang passenger traffic amounted to 405,704 people, freight up to 620,098 quintals. A year later, this number increased to 638,893 passengers and 205,534 quintals. And the thirties, our county every year by the railroad to Suzhou Shanghai Wuxi glutinous rice, wheat, cattle, the average annual price of 16,500 yuan, 7,500 yuan and 45,000 yuan, respectively, and Shanghai Suzhou production of cotton cloth (500 pieces per year), matches (450 boxes per year) is also a steady stream of transportation to our county passenger and freight transportation prosperity and in turn promote the development of Danyang Railway. 1924, Danyang station up platform, Xinfeng station down platform respectively, a new canopy. 1930 December, Danyang station and the expansion of a warehouse, an area of 650 square meters, can accommodate 440 tons of goods. It can be said that the Danyang Railway is growing day by day, not only changed the face of the county, to facilitate the lives of citizens, but also prompted Danyang became the Shanghai-Nanjing line on the resounding "small Wuxi"! In 1945, victory in the war of resistance against Japan, Japan surrendered, the Ministry of Transportation of the National Government, Central China Railway Management Committee to take over the Beijing-Shanghai line. 1946 March 1, the former Central China Railway Management Committee was reorganized into the "Beijing-Shanghai Railway Management Bureau," the beginning of the implementation of sub-district management. According to the "1947 Beijing-Shanghai Line Zhenjiang Area Stations Facilities Table", Danyang Station was re-rated as a 2nd class station, with 6 platforms, 4 lanes, and storm shelters, signals, water supply equipment and other facilities. The two stations of Lvcheng Lingkou were both fourth-class stations. At that time, Danyang station's transportation industry is very prosperous: the city Wu Juyuan, Wu Yichang, Lin Wantai, Ma Taiyuan and other grain companies to take full advantage of the railroad, the summer transport fire wheat (wheat), the autumn transport brown seeds (roughly processed brown rice). 1947, Danyang station passenger and freight cars through the amount of 43 columns per day, Danyang County, the stations of the Republic of China in the year of thirty-six years (1947) from January to October the number of passengers sent for the 634,117.5, the amount of goods sent for the 15,011 tons. Sent 15011 tons. In 1946, only in December, Danyang station passenger number of 47,035 people, cargo tons of 1,214 tons. But after 1948, with the economic crisis in the Nationalist Region as well as heavy military transportation, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway fell into disarray again.

With the liberation of Danyang on April 23, 1949, the Beijing-Shanghai Railway got a new lease of life again.

The victory of the Battle of the Crossing of the Yangtze River greatly encouraged the majority of railroad workers, they actively responded to the call of the Party Central Committee "where the People's Liberation Army fought, the railroad will be repaired to where" to repair the lines and stations at a good and fast speed, for the liberation of Shanghai and the march of South China has made a positive contribution to the liberation of the city. April 27th, Ningzhen resumed traffic between the towns, and May 16th from the line between Nanjing and Suzhou was also restored to traffic. Thousands of take-over cadres at that time were converging on Danyang through the train, not far away, to make preparations in advance for the liberation of Shanghai.On May 26, with the liberation of Shanghai, the whole line of the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was restored to traffic.

After the founding of the country, the development of the railroad got on track and began to change radically. First of all, in 1958, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal Danyang section of the cut bay to take straight, the railroad line with the river moved east, Danyang station was moved to the east of the canal, Gongpan village northeast. The new station was 5.98 kilometers away from Xinfeng and 8.85 kilometers away from Lingkou, and a grand opening ceremony was held on May 1, 1959, and the station was officially opened on September 13th. The new station included a waiting room of 247 square meters, 7 passenger lines and 3 platforms. At that time, Danyang Station was the central station, and the management area involved Danyang Station, Lingkou Station, Lvcheng Station and Qingyang Line Office (now Dapo), with a total length of 30 kilometers.At the end of 1958, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway hastily embarked on the re-routing project, which was slowed down due to the shortage of laborers and the tight schedule. Later encountered the "Cultural Revolution", the railroad business is close to stagnation. By 1974, railroad transportation tends to be saturated, more and more do not adapt to the needs of economic development. 1977 January, late Shanghai-Nanjing Railway re-routing project was finally completed and opened to traffic, Danyang station ushered in another of its glory! 1978, Danyang central station rose to Danyang depot, jurisdiction over the west of Nanjing Qixia Mountain, Changzhou, east of the new locks of the town, including 15 stations, the line is long, the management of a considerable! It was a long line and heavy management. At that time, because of the serious blockage of Zhenjiang port station, part of the original transit in Zhenjiang, northern Jiangsu import and export materials to Danyang station transit. In 1980, Danyang Railway transferred materials from 28 counties and cities in northern Jiangsu Province, amounting to 2,414 cars and more than 110,000 tons. Danyang station transit business continued to develop, so that Danyang has become the Shanghai-Nanjing line and a public railway, water railway transit hub! 1983, Danyang Station, a new passenger access tunnel, 42.8 meters long, communicating with the three platforms, which greatly facilitated the entry and exit of the station passengers. 1989, January 20, Danyang Station in the original station building on the north side of the new station building inaugurated and in 1987 rose to the second-class station, became a large station on the Shanghai-Nanjing line in the traditional sense of the word. Danyang Station was opened on January 20, 1989, in the north of the original station building. Entering the new century, the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway was more or less overwhelmed by its capacity, which seemed to have been utilized to the maximum. In order to better adapt to the rapid development of the economy, the railroad entered a long period of speed up. From no meet the erection of steel rails, from level crossing to crossing crossing, from fully closed to electrification transformation, Shanghai-Nanjing Railway gradually transformed, ushered in six major speed-up brilliant performance! April 1, 1997, zero hour, the railroad to implement the first major speed increase, the maximum speed of train operation to 140 kilometers, the travel speed of 90 kilometers, the railroad for the first time to start with the highway to the chase. 1998 years October 1, the railroad and the second major speed-up, fast trains and the opening of the evening train, so that people for the first time feel the convenience of speed. Subsequently, October 21, 2000 and October 21, 2001 of the two major speed, the full formation of China's railroad speed network, the average speed and speed mileage have climbed to the peak. April 18, 2004, the fifth railroad speed, one-stop direct access to high-speed trains, the country's most advanced Bombardier and the 25T-type coaches and let the people feel the treatment of the airline.

Along with the arrival of speed up, also brought the train across! Danyang station on the one hand actually felt the high speed of the rapid train, but also faced the pressure of crossing. As we all know, Danyang is only a county-level city, since the Kunshan station one step up to the first-class station, Danyang station became the only remaining second-class station on the Shanghai-Nanjing line. Train stops are limited, passenger flow is difficult to improve. Danyang station for the first time tasted the different flavor of speed. According to statistics, Danyang Station, the most glorious time, the day for more than 100 passenger trains (including the Spring Festival passengers). Later with the speed up, to the fifth speed up, down to 65 trips. Many high-speed trains whiz by, a large number of intercity express but do not stop, which makes Danyang travelers travel with great inconvenience

In 2003, the Shanghai Railway Bureau decided to abolish the railroad Danyang section, including Danyang, including seven stations under the Zhenjiang station. 2006 March, the Shanghai Railway Bureau and a large-scale station section adjustments, the Zhenjiang, Changzhou, two stations merged into the Changzhou station, and Danyang station was transferred to Changzhou station. Danyang Station was transferred to the management of Changzhou Station. Frequent adjustments in the organization, the management system of the major changes do not herald the "six mention" of the water to the canal. Danyang station once again stood on the cusp of the wind and waves, to meet the greater challenge.

In order to make Danyang station to meet the needs of social and economic development, in order to allow more people to ride the new "Harmony" train sets, but also in order to maintain the century-old station is not across the decline, Danyang station actively strive for, the municipal government attaches great importance to, and finally reached a unanimous agreement with the road bureau, so that Danyang station took the platform on the six up! Remodeling of the last train. According to reports, the transformation **** invested more than 800 million yuan, so that the No. 1 up platform, No. 5 down platform heightened to 1.25 meters, so that travelers on and off the moving train sets such as repeatedly flat. At the same time, Danyang station also updated the electronic display screen, sound system, for the 4.18 railroad speed up in 2007 to get ready. Because of the local attention, because of their own efforts, Danyang Station finally became six to stop the train set of one of the few county-level stations. 8:37 minutes on April 18, 2007, just about two minutes of the station D407 train loaded with more than 40 passengers in Danyang and started, when it winds up and disappears in the direction of the downstream (Shanghai), the people have a smile on their faces to satisfy. After six mention, Danyang station and take advantage of the momentum, the facade, waiting room, ticket hall was renovated and new. After the renovation of the Danyang Station, a new look, the second floor dedicated to the waiting room for the train group, to the passengers waiting to provide quality service. The six mention, although the Danyang station scheduled to handle passenger trains from 32.5 pairs down to 20.5 pairs, but seven train stops announced the arrival of a new era - a century of Danyang station really ushered in the era of high-speed, a century of Danyang station and rejuvenated, will be heading for a new era of glory!

July 1, 2010, with the opening of the Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity High Speed Railway, located in the old station building south of the new station building was opened at the same time. Take No.1 or No.6 and get off at the station (South Square).
