Beijing No 2 Intermediate People's Court has taken charge of hearing the cases involving ex-railways officials, and has sentenced three people.
Liu Zhijun, ex-railways minister, was sentenced in July 2013 to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting 64.6 million yuan ($10.5 million) in bribes and abuse of power. Liu helped 11 people win promotions and project contracts between 1986 and 2011.
Liu, 61, from Hubei province, became railways minister and the ministry's Party chief in March 2003.
