At this&nbsp;point, the new 915-kilometer-long Chengdu-Kunming Railway has been put into&nbsp;operation.<\/p>\n<p>The New Chengdu-Kunming Railway is constructed under the auspices of China&nbsp;Railway Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd. with 30 new stations and 18 altered&nbsp;stations. Railroad departments along the line are fully cooperating with the&nbsp;opening operation and running passenger trains and cargo trains. Later,&nbsp;according to the operation and market demand, the train operation plan will be&nbsp;continuously optimized. Meanwhile, the optimized and upgraded CR200J&nbsp;power-concentrated locomotive set will be put into operation in the new&nbsp;Chengdu-Kunming Railway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Welcome to the train, Cimogeni (good luck)!&#8221; Next to the brand-new train,&nbsp;wearing a Yi pleated skirt, 29-year-old Yi conductor <span class=\"xn-person\">Ayi Buka<\/span> led the train&nbsp;crew to say blessings to the passengers.

At the same time, with&nbsp;the increasing transport demand, Chengdu-Kunming Railway capacity is becoming&nbsp;saturated.
