Another new railway line, the Jiayuguan-Ceke Railway Line ( Chinese  嘉 策 铁路 , Pinyin jiācè tiělù , English Jiayuguan-Ceke Railway ) connects Ceke with Jiayuguan in Gansu Province .

Planning

A freight train route is planned from Linhe to the Mongolian border town of Gaschuun Suchait . The continuation to Uchaa Chudag (UHG) in the Tawan Tolgoi open- cast coal mine, 260 kilometers away , is being planned by Deutsche Bahn subsidiary DB-International under the name South Gobi Desert Rail . The single-track line intended for the removal of coal with an axle load of 25 tons should go into operation in 2015. In March 2016, however, a permit to build the line was only reported. According to a report from November 2017, Mongolia had built over 200 km of substructure for the route, but the project was interrupted due to lack of funding.
