Nanchang–Ganzhou high-speed railway

The Nanchang–Ganzhou high-speed railway, or Changgan Passenger Dedicated Line (simplified Chinese: 昌赣客运专线; traditional Chinese: 昌贛客運專線; pinyin: Chāng-Gàn Kèyùn Zhuānxiàn), is a high-speed railway[1] between Nanchang and Ganzhou in Jiangxi province. This forms the northern section of the larger Nanchang–Shenzhen high-speed railway. The southern section of that railway, the Ganzhou–Shenzhen high-speed railway, commenced construction in January 2015. This allows for fast connections from Jiangxi to several coastal cities in Guangdong and Fujian.
