In the face of reporters, Hou Xiaochun on behalf of the view that: the railroad is an important national transportation infrastructure, it is not only the national economic development of the artery, and both fast speed, large capacity, safety and comfort, energy saving, emission reduction and other characteristics. Railroad transport in the various modes of transportation in the comparative advantages of outstanding, both decided the railroad is a mass transportation, but also decided its comprehensive transportation system in China's backbone position.

Representative Hou Xiaochun said:2016surname Nian6moon29Day, Premier Li Keqiang presided over the State Council executive meeting to consider the "medium and long-term railroad network planning", pointed out that China's railroad density is lower than that of developed countries, the road network layout is imperfect, especially in the central and western railroads are underdeveloped, and expressly requested to increase the proportion of central funds for the construction of railroads in the central and western parts of the proportion of the investment to open up the high-speed mainline corridor bottlenecks, expanding the central and western parts of the road network coverage, and the formation of inter-area fast and high-capacity corridors.

"2017surname Nian1moon11On the same day, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Western China", which puts forward the construction of railroads in the western region as the focus of national railroad construction, accelerates the construction of mainline railroads, high-speed railroads and intercity railroads, strengthens the expansion and transformation of existing lines, and further improves the layout to enhance the overall effectiveness of the road network.2017surname Nian2moon3The State Council issued the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" for the development of modern comprehensive transportation system, which proposes to actively promote the construction of feeder railroads, promote the construction of local development railroads, feeder railroads and railroads along the border, strengthen the effective connection with mining areas, industrial parks, logistics parks, ports, etc., and enhance the support for the mainline railroad network.2017surname Nian3moon5On July 1, Premier Li Keqiang clearly put forward in the "Government Work Report", actively expand effective investment, this year to complete the railroad construction investment8000billion dollars." So said Representative Hou Xiaochun.

Hou Xiaochun on behalf of: Guang'an City, Sichuan Province, is located in the Sichuan-Chongqing combination of Sichuan and Chongqing, belonging to the eastern gateway to Sichuan, is the "One Belt, One Road", the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration an important part of the "Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone Regional Plan" identified as the only Sichuan-Chongqing cooperation demonstration area in Sichuan Province, is the National Development and Reform Commission approved by the western demonstration area for undertaking industrial transfers,. It plays an important role as a node city in the western region as well as in the comprehensive transportation hub of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone.

"At present, Guang'an territory has been built and put into operation of the Xiangyu Railway and Lan Yu Railway are passenger and freight mixed use of high-speed railroads, and through the main city of Guang'an City is also only a branch of the Lan Yu Railway (single-track) railroads, unable to meet the needs of Guang'an's economic development, the urgent need to expand the existing railroads for the transformation of the ability to enhance the role of the transport construction of the economic and social development of the basic security. "
Representative Hou Xiaochun described the current situation in Guang'an in this way.

Representative Hou Xiaochun investigated and found that, with the strong support of the China Railway Corporation and the National Development and Reform Commission, the2008surname Nian9In January, the state started the construction of the Lanzhou-Yuzhou Railway, and added the Nanchong-Guang'an-Guang'an branch line, setting up the Guang'an South Station near the main city of Guang'an, with a total length of the South-Gao branch line.70.79kilometers on2014surname Nian8The train was completed and put into operation in January, and the Guang'an-Chengdu train was launched, with the trains running each other every day.5For moving cars.2016In 2009, the number of passengers sent to Guang'an South Station and Yuechi Station alone on the South Gao branch line has reached200More than 10,000 visits. With2017At the end of the Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway line through the entire line, will form a new southwest and northwest of the convenient transportation corridor, Guang'an region of passenger and freight traffic will be "blowout" growth, it is difficult to meet the transportation needs.

"At the same time, led by the Chongqing side of the planning and construction; 'Guang'an - Zhongxian - Qianjiang' and 'Guang'an - Fuling -Liuzhou Railway' project, have been included in the Chongqing '13th Five-Year' road network planning, is actively promoting the project feasibility study preparation and other work, and is expected to '13th Five-Year' to complete the preliminary work, have the conditions to start and start construction.'"
Hou Xiaochun representative said: these two railroads as the Sichuan and Chongqing areas east out of the important liaison line between the corridor lines, Lan Yu Railway and reached the railroad, Xiangyu Railway, Yu Lee, Yu Huai Railway and the planning of the organic linkage of the railroad along the Yangtze River, and Lan Yu Railway together constitute the Gansu, Xinjiang, Shaanxi and other areas of the rich coal resources, "northern coal south" of the big channel! The railroad will be connected with the Lanyu Railway.

Hou Xiaochun told reporters: Chengdu Railway Bureau relying on Lanzhou-Chongqing Railway, in the existing railroad yard conditions based on the planning and layout aimed at radiation in northeast Sichuan, focusing on docking the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone, Guang'an Zaoshan Railway Logistics Center and Huaying Happy Railway Logistics Park. The project as Guang'an in the "Belt and Road" strategic context, through the status quo railroad network docking YuXinEu freight liner, into the international market, an important carrier, is the implementation of the construction of a comprehensive three-dimensional three-dimensional channel of the national strategic planning requirements of an important initiative, but also to further enhance the South High Spur transportation capacity.

Representative Hou Xiaochun particularly stressed that: Guang'an through the construction and development in recent years, has formed fine chemicals, high-end equipment manufacturing, electronic information, biomedicine, energy conservation and environmental protection, new building materials, light industry and clothing, agricultural products processing and other industrial clusters, the new type of industrialization requires to speed up the establishment of large-scale, modern manufacturing logistics service system, agricultural modernization of bulk agricultural products logistics and fresh and live agricultural products cold chain logistics demand continues to grow. The growing demand for bulk agricultural products logistics and fresh and live agricultural products cold chain logistics due to agricultural modernization, the upgrading of residents' consumption and the accelerated pace of new urbanization urgently require the establishment of a more perfect, convenient, efficient and safe logistics and distribution system for consumer goods.

"Especially as the hometown of Comrade Xiaoping, China's excellent tourist city, national civilized city, national health city, and the base for wild domestication and release of giant pandas, it receives an annual tourist population of3000More than ten thousand people, the increase of various economic and trade activities and a large number of passengers travel on the railroad demand is very strong, the transportation market prospects are very promising. South high branch line as a single line (rail) railroad, technical grade is low, transport capacity is not strong, the contradiction between supply and demand is increasingly prominent, basically unable to meet the capacity needs of Guang'an and surrounding areas."
Hou Xiaochun on behalf of the said: Lan Yu Railway South high branch line to build additional re-construction of the project can significantly enhance the South high branch line transportation capacity, to achieve passenger and cargo diversion, effectively alleviate the pressure of railroad operations, and promote Guang'an and Chengdu, Chongqing, and northeastern Sichuan city cluster within the main city of the link, but also conducive to improving the regional railroad network, and further enhance the flexibility of the regional railroad transport.
