On April 22, the No.55066 train, consisting of 324 cars with a total length of 4,088 meters and a total weight of 32400 tons, departed from Shenchi South Station of Shuozhou-Huanghua Railway station. After 9 hours and 37 minutes of safe driving, it arrived at Huanghua Port Station successfully, marking the successful operation of the longest and largest 30,000-ton heavy-haul train in China.
The 30,000-ton train test adopts advanced technologies such as domestic autonomous TD-LTE, traction network control, air braking, and wireless synchronous control, which is an innovative combination of production factors of high-power AC electric locomotives and heavy-duty freight cars and achieves a breakthrough in the field of autonomous technology application of 30,000-ton heavy-duty trains. Shuozhou-Huanghua Railway is China's second-largest channel for transporting coal from west to east. It undertakes the critical mission of guaranteeing a national energy supply and has been running 20000 tons of heavy haul trains regularly for eight years. Based on many years of research and transportation practice, Shuozhou-Huanghua Railway has successfully operated 30000 tons of heavy-haul combined trains, which plays an active and vital role in improving the transport capacity of China's leading coal transport corridor and exploring the frontier level of heavy-haul technology.
