Editor's note: This year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China.
In the early 1950s, the government began to build the Chengdu-Chongqing railway. It was the first railway built after the founding of New China.
In July 1952, the 505-kilometer railway opened to traffic, linking Chengdu, Sichuan province, and Chongqing.
