Chengdu–Pujiang Intercity Railway, also known as the Cheng-Pu Express Railway, is a high-speed railway within Sichuan province, China. It will connect the provincial capital of Chengdu with south-western cities along the western edge of the Sichuan Basin to Pujiang. It will start at Chengdu West Railway Station and will terminate and connect with the planned Chengdu-Ya'an Intercity Railway at Chaoyang Lake Railway Station. It will be built as a National Railways Class I, double tracked electrified line with a design speed of 200 km/h and a total length of 99 km. Construction and management of this line has been conducted by a joint venture limited liability company between Chengdu Metro and Chengdu Railway Bureau.[1]
