Zhengzhou–Xuzhou high-speed railway, or Zhengxu Passenger Dedicated Line, is a high-speed rail line operated by China Railway Shanghai Group and China Railway Zhengzhou Group, connecting the cities of Zhengzhou, the provincial capital of Henan, and Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu.[1]

The length of the railway is 362.39 kilometers and the investment is estimated to be CN¥48.62 billion. It is one of the segments of the Xuzhou-Lanzhou HSR Corridor, a high-speed railway corridor from Lanzhou to Xuzhou, paralleling the existing Longhai Railway. Presently, the existing conventional-speed Xuzhou-Zhengzhou railway is used e.g. by passenger trains traveling from Shanghai and Nanjing to Xi'an, Lanzhou, and points west.

Construction on the line began in December 2012,[2] and running operations began on 10 September 2016.

Stations[edit]

The railway line has nine stations:[2]
