The Baoji–Lanzhou high-speed railway is a high-speed railway operated by China Railway High-speed between Baoji in western Shaanxi province and Lanzhou, the capital of Gansu province. The railway will cut the rail travel between Baoji and Lanzhou from current five hours to one hour and a half. It will connect with Xi'an–Baoji high-speed railway to the east and Lanzhou–Urumqi high-speed railway to the west. The feasibility study report has been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. The construction work was expected to start in the first half of 2011;[2] it actually started in October 2012.[1][3][4] Work is expected to be completed five years after construction started.[1] The line started operations on July 9, 2017.[5]

Seven stations will be built on the line: Baoji South, Dongcha, Tianshui South, Qin'an, Tongwei, Dingxi, and Lanzhou West. 92% of the total length will be elevated or in tunnels. The total investment is estimated to be CN¥ 64,000,000,000 (US$10 billion).[6]
