Yuxi–Mohan Railway

The Yuxi–Mohan Railway or Yumo Railway (simplified Chinese: 玉磨铁路; traditional Chinese: 玉磨鐵路; pinyin: yùmó tiělù), is a railway under construction in Yunnan Province of southwest China. The line is slated to run 503.9 km (313 mi) from Yuxi in central Yunnan to Mohan, a town in Mengla County on the border with Laos in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of southern Yunnan. The Yumo Railway is designed to "provide efficient, safe, low-carbon, affordable, railway transport" within Yunnan Province. Once connected to the railway to be built in Laos, the Yumo Railway would become part of the Trans-Asian Railway and carry traffic across the Greater Mekong Subregion.

Early stage construction began on September 1, 2015. The project is estimated to cost ¥46.46 billion. The railway will be electrified, and will have double-track from Yuxi to Jinghong and single-track from Jinghong to Mohan. Cities and towns along route would include Yuxi, Pu'er, Jinghong and Mohan.

After China and 17 other Asian countries signed the Trans-Asian Railway Network Agreement in June 2006, the Yuxi-Mohan Railway was proposed as a component of the Singapore-Kunming Rail Link Route 2, also known as the Central Route, which would connect Kunming, Vientane, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.
