I am puzzled by the phrase "A new double-track line between Ürümqi and Jinghe was built in 2009 to supplement the Northern Xinjiang railway." This suggests that between Ürümqi and Jinghe at least three tracks are available: at least one from the existing line, and two from the newly added one. However when I consult OpenStreetMap, I find two separate lines, one called Lanzhou–Ürümqi High-Speed Railway or Lanxin High-Speed Line, the other Lanxin Line or Lanzhou–Xinjiang Railway, however both are single track for the greater part of their length, though they split to double track shortly before entering Ürümqi station from the South. Is OpenStreetMap wrong, or did something get "lost in translation"? What is the factual situation today? Jan olieslagers (talk) 23:07, 16 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
