In 2012, Shanxi railway construction investment capital will hit 60 billion yuan ($9.5 billion), topping 18 railways bureaus nationwide.

The Taiyuan South Station, publically concerned, will be completed within the year. The Shanxi-Henan-Shandong Railway Corridor and Datong-Xi’an Passenger Special Line, listed among key projects during the 12th Five-Year Plan period (2011-2015), are under construction as scheduled.

Shanxi is expected to turn into an accessible, prosperous land where people, logistics, business, and information meet and flow after the construction of the railroads.
