Recently, CASCO has yielded fruitful outcomes in urban rail and state-owned railway as numerous lines constructed with its participation are put into full operation, which presented a New Year gift for the general public in 2022 in advance.

Dunhua-Changbaishan High-speed Railway -- Access to the Scenery of Changbai Mountain

On December 24, Dunhua-Changbaishan High-speed Railway was put into full operation. The railway, located in Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture in the eastern part of Jilin Province, starts from Changbaishan Station of Erdaobaihe Town, passes by Antu County, and ends in Dunhua City, with a total length about 113km, and a design speed of 250km/h. As an important constituent of Shenyang-Jiamusi High-Speed Railway in Northeast China, full operation of the railway will promote the connection between Changbai area and central area of Jilin Province, thus serving as a "new engine" to drive regional cooperation and development.

CASCO, as a critical signaling equipment supplier for Dunhua-Changbaishan High-speed Railway, provided CTC3.0 system and the centralized signaling monitoring system for its construction. Since the project's commencement, CASCO teams conducted conscientious organization, overcame such difficulties as repeated epidemics and harsh construction environment, completed site commissioning, static acceptance, dynamic acceptance and other tasks on schedule, and thereby assisted the railway to be put into full operation smoothly, which won the unanimous praise from the owner and construction organizations.

Rizhao-Lankao High-speed Railway (Qufu-Heze section) -- Southwest Shandong Ushering in High-Speed Railway Era

On December 26, Rizhao-Lankao High-speed Railway (Qufu-Heze section) was put into full operation.
