| Our rail network currently
consists of four lines, the Baoshen Rail Line, the Shenshuo
Rail Line, the Shuohuang Rail Line and the Dazhun Rail Line.
The Shenshuo and Shuohuang Rail Lines together form one
of the two primary eastbound coal freight rail lines in
China and play a key role in providing supplies of coal
to the economically developed coastal areas of the country.
In 2006, the total turnover of our coal transportation
was 124.4 billion tonne km, representing a year-on-year
increase of 16.3 billion tonne km or 15.1%. In 2006, the
turnover of coal transportation by our self-owned railways
amounted to 99.0 billion tonne km, representing a year-on-year
increase of 14.7 billion tonne km or 17.4%. The turnover
of coal transportation by self-owned railways accounted
for 79.6% of total turnover of coal transportation.
In 2006, the transportation volume of the Shenshuo Rail
Line reached 128.0 million tones and the transportation
volume of the Shuohuang Rail Line reached 112.2 million
tonnes.
