    Introduction: since the winter of new page 1, electric power has been in a rush again, and the railway department, which is the main force in the transportation of electric power and coal, has felt unprecedented pressure: the average daily application of coal in China is about 70000 vehicles, but limited by the transportation capacity, it can only meet about 40000 vehicles every day Zxd is even more difficult for the railway sector Since this year, with the sustained and rapid growth of the national economy, the demand for railway freight has increased, and the number of car applications for the whole railway has remained high At present, it has reached the highest level in the history of over 200000 cars per day, while the railway can only meet about 95000 cars, less than half of the total demand The railway sector is in a dilemma because it is necessary to give priority to the transportation of coal, other key materials, transportation efficiency and high value-added materials with high freight rate Zxd railway capacity has become the bottleneck of economic development zxd It should be said that since the ninth five year plan, China's railway construction has developed to a certain extent The total railway mileage has increased from 62400 kilometers in 1995 to 71900 kilometers in 2002 The freight turnover has also increased from 1659 million tons in 1995 to 2042 million tons in 2002 The transportation density has increased from 28.68 million tons / km in 1996 to 33.63 million tons / km in 2002 However, due to the excessive historical debts, the development of China's railway still lags behind the needs of national economic and social development Comrade of Transportation Bureau of zxd Ministry of Railways told reporters that at present, the capacity utilization rate of main railway lines, main coal transportation channels such as Daqin, Shitai, Jingyuan, Houyue, Huainan, Qiangui and most of the railway bureaus has been saturated, and the capacity utilization rate of main interfaces such as fuliqi and Gudian has reached 100% in long-term overload transportation In addition, the contradiction between passenger and freight transportation is very prominent Railway passenger transport volume has also continued to grow, especially since October this year, the demand for passenger transport has further increased, with a 7.7% increase in direct passenger flow The number of main buses in and out of Beijing, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou and southwest China has exceeded the number of passengers The contradiction between passenger and freight is very serious, let alone the spring and summer sports! The continuous growth of zxd GDP is bound to bring the continuous growth of freight demand Based on the statistical analysis of the growth of freight volume of the whole society in the past 24 years of reform and opening up, the average annual growth of GDP in the past 24 years was 8.1%, and the average annual growth of railway freight turnover was 5% The correlation between the growth rate of railway freight turnover and GDP growth rate is 0.62 If calculated by this correlation degree, the railway freight turnover will increase by 118% by 2020, which means that the railway transportation capacity needs to be strengthened urgently Zxd can't solve the fundamental problem zxd in mid November, Zhengzhou Railway Bureau received a call for help telegram Because the daily average coal consumption of the power plant of Henan power grid unified dispatching increased from 50000-60000 tons at the beginning of October to more than 77000 tons, resulting in a sharp decline in the coal inventory of the whole province The coal storage of Xinxiang, Yaomeng, Zhengzhou, Luoyang and other major power plants has also been below or approaching the warning line! Zxd Xu Yifa, director of Zhengzhou Railway Bureau, and Zhang Junbang, Secretary of the Party Committee immediately led relevant personnel to go deep into Zhengzhou, Jincheng, Lu'an and other state-owned large coal mines and key power plants to understand the coal consumption and transportation demand of the power plants, and established a contact system with the enterprise, such as the road and mine coordination meeting, to timely report the coal consumption information of the power plants to the large mines, and to implement the plan acceptance, arrangement, examination and approval for the coal transportation Priority should be given to loading, disassembling and hanging, so that the coal crisis of power plant can be alleviated The example of zxd Zhengzhou Railway Bureau is just a microcosm of the railway system's efforts to ease the tension of transportation capacity In order to meet the transportation demand as much as possible, the Ministry of railways, on the one hand, gives priority to ensuring key materials such as coal in various links such as planning, vehicle allocation, loading, transportation and release, and increases the average daily loading of coal in December this year from 38000 to 40000; on the other hand, it pays attention to the unloading organization of power plants, steel plants, ports and large unloading stations to improve the unloading efficiency; on the other hand, it vigorously increases the opening Only from January to October this year, 84 direct coal trains were arranged, an increase of 30 or 55.6% year on year Zxd, however, in the case of overall shortage of transportation capacity, although the railway department makes every effort to tap the potential, the growth rate of transportation volume of key materials is also much higher than the average growth rate of the freight volume of the whole road, but only relying on the existing capacity to tap the potential, still can not fundamentally meet the transportation demand Zxd can only break the bottleneck of transportation capacity by developing zxd, so as to meet the needs of building a well-off society in an all-round way At this year's central economic work conference, it was proposed to speed up the construction of major transport arteries and hubs The Ministry of Railways has also put forward relevant ideas of leapfrog development, concentrating human, material and financial resources, accelerating railway construction, and China's railway will basically realize modernization by 2020 According to the assumption of the Ministry of railways, in terms of road network, zxd will speed up the construction of new lines, increase the total scale of road network, improve the structure of road network and improve the quality of road network, which will become the focus of railway construction in the future Specifically speaking, it means that the busy trunk line realizes the passenger and freight separate line transportation, forming four line or multi line transportation; the main channel realizes double line and electrification, forming a large capacity freight network, fundamentally changing the capacity tension of the main channel Through the construction of new lines, the upgrading of existing lines and the construction of passenger dedicated lines, a rapid passenger transport network covering the whole country will be formed to completely change the passive situation that the railway restricts the development of national economy and society, and the ultimate goal is to realize the convenience of people and the smooth flow of goods In the construction of zxd's large capacity freight network, the Ministry of Railways will take three measures: first, expand the freight capacity of main channels At the same time of the construction of passenger dedicated line in the main trunk line, it is necessary to reconstruct the existing railway to make it a high-quality and large capacity freight oriented channel The second is to build a developed coal transportation system, through the construction of passenger dedicated lines and the expansion and transformation of existing lines, to form a large capacity coal transportation channel to meet the needs of coal transportation Third, accelerate the development of container transportation network Zxd
