The railway passes through the following cities:

  • Beijing (北京市)
  • Hebei: Langfang (廊坊市), Tangshan (唐山市), Qinhuangdao (秦皇岛)
  • Tianjin
  • Connecting Railways

    In Beijing, the railway leaves Beijing Railway Station and branches off to form other railways, including the Beijing–Kowloon, Beijing–Guangzhou, and Fengtai–Shacheng Railways.

    In Tianjin, it intersects with the Tianjin–Ji County Railway, the Tianjin–Bazhou Railway, the Tianjin–Pukou Railway, and the Tianjin North Ring Railway. After it re-enters Hebei Province, the railroad will intersect with the Qidaoqiao–Luan County Railway at Tangshan, as well as the Tangshan–Zunhua Railway. Afterwards, it meets with the Beijing–Qinhuangdao Railway and follows a parallel path until the two finally come together with the Datong–Qinhuangdao Railway at Qinhuangdao.
