As the railway network in Xinjiang continues to improve, cargo transport capacity on its railways has risen steadily. In 2018, Xinjiang railways transported more than 100 million tons of goods in a year for the first time. Afterward, the amount transported continued to increase, eventually exceeding 200 million tons in 2022; doubling 2018’s transport in merely four years. This new result is attributed to the booming market demand, the well-established railway network, and the efforts of railway operators to maximize the railway’s potential.
