History
Due to the failure in January 28 Incident, the government of Republic of China had to accept the demilitarization of Shanghai and needed a new railway to the west of it.
The construction of this railway began on February 22, 1935 and finished on July 15 of the same year.
In 1944, Japanese invaders demolished the railway to get resources.
