全长165公里的河南许昌至周口郸城的铁路,是我国营运里程最长的一条窄轨铁路,也是最后运行着的小火车客运线路,被称为铁路的活化石。它的铁路轨距长762毫米,大概相当于京广铁路等准轨铁路的一半。曾有网友呼吁将这条窄轨铁路打造成特色旅游项目,今年3月,许昌小火车站曾向周口郸城开行生态文化旅游专列。即使如此,也没有挽留住窄轨火车的命运。现在,这条运行了近半个世纪的窄轨铁路线寿终正寝。 A total length of 165 kilometers of railway from Xuchang, Henan to Zhoukou Dancheng is a narrow-gauge railway with the longest mileage in operation in China. It is also the last train operated passenger train line, which is called the live fossil of the railway. Its rail gauge is 762 mm long, roughly equivalent to half of the Jing-Gou Railway and other rail lines. There were netizens called for the narrow-gauge railway to be built into a special tourism project. In March this year, Xuchang Railway Station once opened a special eco-cultural tourism train to Zhoukou Dancheng. Even so, did not retain the fate of narrow-gauge trains. Now, this narrow-gauge railway line that has operated for nearly half a century has come to an end.
