Xiangtangxi–Le'an railway explained

The Xiangtangxi–Le'an railway or Xiangle railway is a freight-only railway branch line located in Jiangxi, China.

The line was constructed in the 1960s.^[1] It once ran from Xiangtang West (Xiangtangxi) in Xiangtang, Nanchang County to Jiangbiancun in Le'an County, via Fuzhou. The last passenger service on the line was on 5 May 2013.^[2] Later that year, the original alignment between Nanchang and Fuzhou North was abandoned as the Xiangtang–Putian railway opened.^[3] Now only the Fuzhou North-Jiangbiancun section remains, as a branch from the Xiangtang–Putian railway.
