Hot wire! The largest EMU carrier in Southwest China has settled in Kunming

In June 27th, learned from the China Railway Kunming Bureau Group Co., Ltd., in June 27th, after 9 months of intense construction, the expansion and transformation of Yunnan Kunming EMU successfully ended, officially put into use, and became the largest EMU in the southwest region, which provided an important basis for Yunnan to better integrate into the "one belt and one road" construction. Infrastructure security.

In the afternoon of the same day, as the opening order was issued, a motor vehicle slowly entered the new overhaul warehouse of Kunming Motor Vehicle Institute, marking the largest motor vehicle overhaul, repair and storage base in southwest China officially settled in Kunming and put into use.

"The expansion and transformation of EMU is a huge system engineering, involving more than 30 specialties such as railway lines, signals and power supply. The"four-power"equipment we have built includes the replacement of computer interlocking, train operation control and EMU dispatching systems, which is equivalent to putting a brand-new"brain"into EMU every day. More than 10 large-scale machines and more than 500 people are carefully carved like embroidery to ensure the quality and efficiency of construction. Li Chunsheng, deputy general manager of Northern Company of China Railway Construction and Electrification Bureau, said.

Located in Chenggong District of Kunming City, Yunnan Province, Kunming South Railway Station is about 8.6 kilometers away, covering an area of nearly 900,000 square meters. The Kunming EMU overlooks from high altitude, like a huge aircraft carrier, which is vividly called "EMU carrier". When Yunnan High-speed Railway was opened in 2016, Kunming Railway Institute mainly undertook the functions of operation, overhaul and maintenance of Shanghai-Kunming High-speed Railway, Yunnan-Guizhou Railway and Kunyu Intercity Railway, providing comprehensive "physical examination" and storage guarantee for speeding trains.

However, with the gradual increase in the scope and density of Yunnan high-speed rail vehicles in recent years, especially from Kunming to Dali, Lijiang, Kunming to Yuxi and Mengzi, their original scale and capacity have been stretched. With a view to long-term development, in October 2018, China Railway Kunming Bureau Group began to expand the capacity of Kunming Railway Station to comprehensively improve the operation, maintenance and storage capacity of Yunnan High-speed Railway Motor Vehicles.

It is reported that after the expansion and transformation of Kunming EMU, the number of overhaul lines increased from 6 to 10, and the number of storage lines increased from 37 to 58, basically doubling the comprehensive capacity.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 70 years ago, Yunnan Railway has entered a new era all the way from metre-gauge to quasi-gauge, then to high-speed rail, from green-leather cars to air-conditioned cars, and then to high-speed motor cars. Now the largest "EMU carrier" in southwest China has settled in Kunming, looking forward to the strategic transformation of the "frontier end" of the national road network into our railway hub facing South Asia and Southeast Asia.
