Hekou North railway station

Hekou North railway station was opened on December 1, 2014, along with the Mengzi–Hekou railway, the last and southernmost segment of the Kunming–Yuxi–Hekou mainline. On March 27, 2015, the short meter-gauge connector line connecting Hekou North railway station with the Kunming–Hai Phong railway (linking into it near the old Hekou railway station) was opened as well, making Hekou North a junction point between two differently gauged railway systems. Soon, the facilities for transferring shipping containers and entire railcars between the two systems came on line as well. The two facilities were inaugurated with transferring two containers of coke on April 10, and 16 cars of chemical fertilizers on April 12, respectively. ==References==
