Datong-Qinhuangdao line, as the first electrified double-track heavy-haul line dedicated to coal transport in China, extends from Beitongpu line in the west, and reaches Qinhuangdao in the east, opened to traffic in Dec., 1992, totaling 653km with the designed annual traffic volume of 1×108t. In order to meet the demands of national economic development, the transport capacity of the line must be enhanced greatly. Depending on independent innovation, MOR，for the first time in the world，realizes the integration between GSM-R and Locotrol, the integration between 800MHz digital radio and Locotrol, and the integration between a single set of Locotrol and SS4 locomotive. Meanwhile, CR develops equipment portfolio for heavy-haul through combining 2 high power locomotives of Harmony Series with controllable EOT (End of Train). Relying on integration and innovation, it succeeds in operating 20kt-level combined heavy-haul train on Datong-Qinhuangdao line, which triples the annual traffic volume of the line from 1×108 t in 2002 to 3×108 t in 2007.

Datong-Qinhuangdao line, as the first electrified doubletrack heavyhaul line dedicated to coal transport in China, extends from Datong in the west, and reaches Qinhuangdao in the east, opened to traffic in December, 1992, totaling 653 km with the designed annual traffic volume of 100 000 000 t. In order to meet the demands of national economic development, the transport capacity of the line must be enhanced greatly. Depending on independent innovation, MOR, for the first time in the world，realizes the integration between GSM-R and Locotrol, the integration between 800 MHz digital radio and Locotrol, and the integration between a single set of Locotrol and SS4 locomotive. Meanwhile, CR develops equipment portfolio for heavyhaul through combining 2 high power locomotives of HXD series (means harmony) with controllable EOT. Relying on integration and innovation, it succeeds in operating 20 ktlevel combined heavyhaul train on DatongQinhuangdao line, which tripled the annual traffic volume of the line from 100 000 000 t in 2002 to 300 000 000 t in 2007.
