Quadruple tracks edit

I'm confused about this bit, and the cited source doesn't mention quad tracks. Looking at Google Earth, I only see two tracks for this line.

I think there is some confusion between the Datong–Puzhou railway and the Hanjialing–Yuanping railway. NemesisAT (talk) 10:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

No doubt you are right. I will have another look at it in due course.--Grahame (talk) 01:12, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
My guess us that it should read something like: "As of 2022, most of the high-speed line is finished, but the section between Huairen East and Yuanping West runs on the 153 kilometre-long Hanjialing–Yuanping railway, a line built mainly for freight with a design speed of 160 kilometres per hour that was opened on 29 March 2014 to bypass a section of the Datong–Puzhou railway. A new section of high-speed line, the Datong–Yuanping high-speed railway, is being built next to it for passenger traffic." (although there doesn't seem to be much sign that it is actually under construction)--Grahame (talk) 13:55, 8 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
