It was electrified and opened in the following year on 8 June 1995.[3] The railway is under the jurisdiction of the Xi'an Railway Bureau in Shaanxi and the Lanzhou Railway Bureau in Gansu and Ningxia. The line is single-track and electrified. It is a key line connecting Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.
There are plans to make the line double-tracked and increase the maximum speed to 160 km/h.[4]
The line starts at Guozhen station in Qianwei town near Baoji and ends at Yinshuiqiao station just west of Zhongwei, traversing 14 counties and cities in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia.[5]
