Chongqing–Wanzhou high-speed railway

Chongqing–Wanzhou high-speed railway is the second route between Chongqing and Wanzhou after Chongqing–Wanzhou intercity railway. The Chongqing–Wanzhou high-speed railway, on a faster 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph) alignment, is expected to open in 2025. It will take a different route, heading south to serve Zhongxian and Fengdu with new railway stations and interchanging with the existing Fuling North railway station and terminating at Chongqing East.
