Research purposes: The research was done on the schemes of leading Huaihua - Shaoyang - Hengyang railway into Hengyang terminal in order to determine reasonable one.
Research conclusions: The construction of Wuhan - Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line,upgrading of Hunan - Guangxi Railway,construction of Hengyang - Chaling - Jian Railway,upgrading of Lei River Bridge and other construction projects in Henyang terminal have been completed successively,and the Huaihua - Shaoyang - Hengyang and Ankang - Zhangjiajie - Hengyang railways will be led into the Henyang terminal. As construction and upgrading periods were different,the construction and upgrading seriously interferred each other. Based on the analysis of the current situation of Hengyang terminal,and on consideration of the function orientation and construction schedule of the Hengyang - Chaling - Jian Railway,making full use of the completed project and avoiding waste,the study was done on the scheme of leading Huaihua - Shaoyang - Hengyang Railway into Henyang terminal via main track and the scheme of leading the railway into the Henyang terminal via the outside track. This paper compares these two schemes from the aspects of track length,construction cost and the railway operational situation. It was decided to adopt the first scheme.
