Suzhou–Jiaxing railway (simplified Chinese: 苏嘉铁路; traditional Chinese: 蘇嘉鐵路; pinyin: Sūjiā tiělù) is a former railway line in China between Suzhou and Jiaxing. The line has a total length of 74.44 kilometres.[1]
History
Due to the failure in January 28 Incident, the government of Republic of China had to accept the demilitarization of Shanghai and needed a new railway to the west of it.[1]
The construction of this railway began on February 22, 1935 and finished on July 15 of the same year.[2]
In 1944, Japanese invaders demolished the railway to get resources.[3]
