Line 2 of CRT runs southeastward from Jiaochangkou to Yudong. Line 2 began operation as the first metro line in the West of China on 18 June 2005. It was subsequently expanded 1 June 2006 from Zoo to Xinshancun, and on 30 December 2014 to Yudong. The line was China's first heavy monorail line, built using Japan's ODA and Hitachi Monorail technology.[3][4]

Line 2, which currently runs 29.9 km (18.6 mi) and services 25 stations, begins as a subway under downtown Jiefangbei, then runs west along the southern bank of the Jialing River on an elevated line, and then turns south into the city's southwestern inner suburbs, looping back east to terminate at Yudong in Ba'nan.

Rolling stock

[edit | edit source]

As the first heavy monorail system in China, the original rolling stock, named QKZ2, was identical to Osaka Monorail 2000 series. These trains were introduced in 2004.[4][3]

Domestically-produced CCD series trains are available in 8-car trainsets, replacing earlier 4-car trainsets. The top speed is 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph) and maximum capacity is 1802 passengers. The exterior features a streamlined design with a two-tone color scheme inspired by the scenery in Chongqing.[4]

The interior features 43.1 inches (109 cm) animated displays and LED scrolling displays, showing information such as the map and the current stop.[4]

The trains support automatic train operation.[4]
