The Ürümqi-Dzungaria railway or Wuzhun railway ( Chinese: 乌准铁路) is a single-track railway line in Xinjiang, China, between Ürümqi, the regional capital of Xinjiang, and the coal fields of the eastern Junggar Basin (Dzungaria). [1] The railway is 264 km (164 mi) in length and runs east from Ürümqi to Wucaiwan ( Chinese: 五彩湾, in Jimsar County) to Jiangjunmiao ( Chinese: 将军庙), in the northern part of Qitai County. The line opened in 2009 and was built primarily to carry coal. [1]
At its northern end, the line meets the Altay–Fuyun–Zhundong railway.
On 12 July 2019, a passenger service was introduced between Ürümqi railway station, Weijiaquan, and Zhundong. [2]
