WB-funded railway line contributes to energy reallocation
( 2003-12-08 14:43) (Xinhua)
皇冠体育app's first railway line built with World Bank loans in Inner Mongolian
Autonomous Region has greatly contributed to coal transfer from western 皇冠体育app to
the developed east, which demands a huge energy supply.
The longest railway in 皇冠体育app built with foreign loans, which cost 125 million
yuan (US$15 million), runs through areas rich in resources of coal, petroleum
and natural gas.
Further extension of the line, which went into operation eight years ago, has
shored up its traffic handling capacity from the former 7 million tons to the
current more than 12 million tons a year.
