A freight train runs on the permafrost region of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in northwest China's Qinghai Province July 9, 2013. Within seven years after its operation, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the longest and highest railway in the world, has carried nearly 64 million passengers and 300 million tonnes of goods.

 

 

Two new lines will extend from Golmud, a city in Qinghai that serves as an important junction on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. One will run toward Dunhuang in northwest China's Gansu Province and the other to Korla, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

 

This extension will join existing railways that link Xinjiang with Qinghai and Gansu provinces, forming a circular railway network upon completion.
