The reporter learned from China Railway Taiyuan Group that in the early hours of November 11, the entire overhead contact system of the Shanxi section of the Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-Speed Railway completed one-time power energization, laying the foundation for the upcoming hot-slide test and integrated commissioning and testing. Energization of the overhead contact system is a key and landmark milestone in the transition of railway engineering from static construction to dynamic debugging, and is an important prerequisite for the high-speed railway to meet the conditions for dynamic testing and subsequent safe opening and operation. The Xiong'an-Xinzhou High-Speed Railway starts from Xiong'an New Area in Hebei in the east and ends at Xinzhou in Shanxi in the west. It is an important component of the Beijing-Kunming corridor of China's "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network, and is also the first high-speed railway in Shanxi designed with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour.
