Track layout
The Xigazê passenger railway station is large compared to current needs as it has five tracks serving two island platforms and a single side platform. Islands reserved for expansion include international (or at least to the border) plans for China–India railway link to Yadong as well as China–Nepal railway link to Gyirong and at some point, Kathmandu.
