Why don't Geku Railway and Dunga Railway run passenger trains?

The reason why Geku and Dunge railways have not opened passenger trains is because the newly opened railway lines are still in the trial operation stage, the subgrade and railway facilities are being debugged, and all aspects of safety are reliably guaranteed before passenger service can be opened. I have worked and lived in places along these two railways for many years, and I am familiar with the situation there. Another biggest possibility is the serious shortage of tourists. People can still be seen on the route from Dunhuang to Golmud. If you drive from Golmud to Korla, you can't see a market town for hundreds of kilometers, and you can hardly see any vegetation. It's very kind to see a car coming across the street. Except for the endless Kunlun Mountain, all the way is a dead and silent Gobi Desert. From Dunhuang to Huatugou, if the running time is not too long, the ticket price is not expensive, and all aspects of conditions are ok, the oil workers in Qinghai Oilfield believe that taking the train in and out of the Qaidam Basin can also be an alternative. The Geku Railway, which is more than 2,000 kilometers long, is located in an area with high altitude, cold and dry all the year round and heavy sandstorm. Usually there are few people, and the goods that need to be pulled out will not be as busy as the inland railway. In recent years, because adventure tourism has become a hot spot, some interested go on road trip people have been going deep into these areas. The significance of this railway in helping the poor, supporting minority areas and preparing for war is greater than the practicability of railway transportation.

These two railways are both ordinary lines, and they are both in places with relatively small population. The construction of these two lines is of more strategic significance and also to increase the flexibility of the railway network. The Golmud-Korla railway is a direct railway line between Qinghai and southern Xinjiang, and there is no need to bypass the Lanxin line, which shortens the journey and reduces the pressure on the Lanxin line. The railway from Dunhuang to Golmud is equivalent to a connecting line between Lanxin Line and Qinghai-Tibet Line, which makes Hexi Corridor a shortcut to the west of Qinghai-Tibet and reduces the transportation pressure of Lanxin Line. As mentioned earlier, the places where these two lines pass are less populated, and some sections are almost deserted, so there are no passenger trains now. Of course, because the epidemic has not completely disappeared and the domestic tourism industry has not recovered to the state before the epidemic, some long-distance buses have not yet been operated. For example, passenger trains between Xinjiang and Tibet can take the Geku Railway. Just because there is no passenger train now doesn't mean there will be no passenger train in the future.

No one is sitting.
