History
Old Dongli railway station

The railway station was originally constructed in the southeast of the current station building when the line was not yet rerouted. After the line was rerouted, the new station building was constructed to be what is the current Dongli railway station today and the old station was named Old Dongli railway station (Chinese: 東里舊站). The old station now serves as the southern end of the 9.8-km long Yufu Bikeway (Chinese: 玉富自行車道) taking place of the old section of the railway line before the rerouting works.[2]

gollark: No, I'm pretty sure the operating principles are very different.
gollark: This could not* go wrong.
gollark: The rockets are quite expensive, though, so the obvious solution is to have cheaper externally propelled vehicle things launched from the ground.
gollark: But several hours to go across the country is still quite significant, and if your passenger transport system cannot be used as a weapon of mass destruction it is not very good, so the obvious solution is ridiculously expensive rocket-based travel.
gollark: But rail would be quite fast, possibly cheaper if you ignore the huge initial investment, and could ship cargo!
