Nenjiang-Greater Khingan Forest Railway


Nenjiang–Greater Khingan Forest Railway or Nenlin Railway (simplified Chinese: 嫩林铁路; traditional Chinese: 嫩林鐵路; pinyin: nènlín tiělù), is a single-track railroad in northeastern China between Nenjiang and the town of Gulian, in Mohe County. It is also known as the Nenjiang-Mohe Railway or Nenmo Railway (嫩漠铁路). Both of the railway's terminals are located in Heilongjiang Province. In between, the line traverses the Greater Khingan Range of Inner Mongolia. Much of the line is located within the jurisdiction of the Greater Khingan Forest District, a special forestry prefecture that covers parts of both Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang.

The line has a total length of 667 km (414 mi). It was built and completed in four sections from 1964 to 1972. Major cities and towns along route include Nenjiang, Jiagedaqi, the prefectural seat, and Mohe, the northernmost county in China.

In the south, the Nenlin Railway begins in Nenjiang on the eastern bank of the Nen River. After crossing the river, the line enters Hulunbuir, a prefectural city and formerly a League of Inner Mongolia. The line heads north and gradually climbs into the Greater Khingan Range. After following the Gan River to Jiagedaqi, the railroad turns north and reenters Heilongjiang at Tayuan. It turns northwest at Tahe and follows the panhandle to Mohe, the northernmost county in China. In the north, the line terminates at Gulian, a town just west of Mohe's county seat.
