Ciyao–Laiwu railway

The Ciyao–Laiwu railway or Cilai railway (simplified Chinese: 磁莱铁路; traditional Chinese: 磁萊鐵路; pinyin: cílái tiělù), is a railroad in northern China between Ciyao and Laiwu central Shandong Province. The line, 119 km (74 mi) in length, was built in two sections from 1940 to 1943 and 1959 to 1966, and is primarily used to transport coal and minerals mined near Laiwu.[1]

History

In 1916, a railway line near Ciyao was planned by the Huafeng Coal Company, but was not built.[1] During World War II when Shandong was occupied by Japan, a Japanese company built a 25 km (16 mi) railroad between Dongtaiping (now named Ciyao) and Chichai (now Yucun) from 1940 to 1941.[1] This line was extended 42 km (26 mi) to the Xinwen coal mines in Nanxintai (now Dongdu) in 1943, and the combined line, 69.6 km (43 mi) in length, became known as the Ciyao–Dongdu railway. The Dongdu to Laiwu section, 52 km (32 mi) in length, was built from 1959 to 1966, forming a tilted L-shaped railway.[1]

Rail connections

gollark: <@490656381662396418> do not make an OS.
gollark: Probably not *explicitly*, but I assume this is roughly the thinking.
gollark: I think the problem is that everyone thinks "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better"
gollark: > Instead write an actual program. Something fun, something useful, something completely useless and over-complicated. Whatever. As long as you learn a ton and have fun I don't care - that is what ComputerCraft is about :). But please don't just make an operating system.
gollark: Importantly:> Don't. Find something else interesting to write. Most operating systems end up being glorified startup screens. The ones which don't generally opt for features which are "cool" or exist in real life operating systems rather than those which make life easier for the user.
