TheShijiazhuang–Wuhan high-speed railway, orShiwu passenger railway (simplified Chinese:石武客运专线;traditional Chinese:石武客運專線;pinyin:Shíwǔ Kèyùn Zhuān Xiàn), is an 840 km (520 mi)high-speed rail line operated byChina Railway High-speed betweenShijiazhuang andWuhan, the provincial capitals ofHebei andHubei, respectively. Construction commenced in October 2008, with a total investment of 116.76 billionyuan. The design speed is 350 km/h (220 mph). It is part of theJingguang passenger-dedicated line, ahigh-speed railway connectingBeijing andGuangzhou, which runs parallel to the older conventionalJingguang Railway.

The railway crosses theYangtze inWuhan over theTianxingzhou Bridge, which was opened in December 2009.

Track-laying commenced on 29 November 2010.^[1]

Early on, it was reported that the Zhengzhou-Wuhan section was to enter service on 1 July 2012;^[2] however, later on the date was moved back to the end of September 2012.^[3] Trial runs on this section began on 26 August.^[4] The line was put into service on 28 September 2012 between Zhengzhou and Wuhan,^[5] a distance of 536 km (333 mi).

As of its opening day, published schedules show a number of G-series trains running from the newZhengzhou East railway station via Wuhan to Guangzhou.^[6][7] There are also some G-series trains from Wuhan toZhengzhou railway station, where a convenient connection to the frequent service on theZhengzhou–Xi'an high-speed railway is possible. A few direct trains fromXi'an North railway station to Guangzhou South and Shenzhen North (e.g. G824/G821 via Zhengzhou^[8] or G838/G835 via Zhengzhou East^[9]),over theZhengzhou–Xi'an high-speed railway and the Shijiazhiuang-Wuhan-Guangzhou line, have been introduced as well.^[6][7]

The entire Shijiazhuang–Wuhan line was put into service by the end of 2012.^[3]

Although the railway's southern end point is notionallyWuhan railway station, a small number of high-speed trains from Beijing terminate atHankou railway station instead. This is convenient for trains to transfer to theShanghai–Wuhan–Chengdu high-speed railway, e.g. for passengers traveling towardYichang,Chongqing orChengdu.
