The Hanjialing–Yuanping railway, also known as the Hanyuan Railway (Chinese: 韩原铁路; pinyin: Hán yuán tiělù), also known as the North Tongpu four-track railway, is a north–south railway located in Shanxi Province. It is the northern part of the Datong–Puzhou railway (Tongpu railway) running from in the south to the Datong–Qinhuangdao railway at Hanjialing. The line is a national class I double-track, electrified railway with a total length of 153 kilometres and a design speed of 160 kilometres per hour, built entirely with heavy-duty track. The whole line opened for freight traffic on 25 February 2014[1] and passenger services commenced on March 29 of the same year.[2] Construction of two extra tracks was completed on 1 May 2019.[3]

Considering actual needs and economic benefits, the National Development and Reform Commission approved the Datong-Xi'an railway project plan ("The National Development and Reform Commission's Response in relation to the Feasibility Study Report for the New Datong-Xi'an Railway") in 2009,[4] allowing the construction of third and fourth tracks for passenger traffic from Datong to Yuanping next to the North Tongpu Railway, then under construction. The additional tracks were opened next to the original Hanyuan Railway in 2019 to connect with the new Dazhang high-speed railway.[5]
