Tianjin–Pukou railway
Railway line in People's Republic of China / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tianjin–Pukou or Jinpu railway (Postal spelling: Tientsin-Pukow Railway; simplified Chinese: 津浦铁路; traditional Chinese: 津浦鐵路; pinyin: Jīnpǔ Tiělù) runs from Tianjin to Pukou district outside Nanjing in Jiangsu province.[1] Pukou was the nearest station to Nanjing on the left bank (west or north bank) of the Yangtze River from central Nanjing, which lies on the right bank (east or south bank). For most of the 20th century, rail carriages were ferried across the river to continue their journey into Nanjing and then on to Shanghai. Since 1968, when a bridge was built across the river, the Jinpu railway has formed part of the Beijing–Shanghai railway, connecting China's two largest cities.
