Before liberation, Nanning was an isolated city. Except for a few low-grade highways, there were no railways. According to historical records, in the 32nd year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1906), Guangxi Commercial Railway planned to build Nanning-Guilin Railway, but it failed for various reasons. In the year of Tong Yuan (1909), the survey began in Liuzhou to Nanning, and Laibin, Qianjiang, Binyang and Kunlun Pass were taken to Nanning. However, due to the circuitous danger of Kunlun Pass, the project is arduous and costly, and this scheme has not been realized. During the retest of 1937, we adopted the plan of approaching guests directly from Liuzhou and passing Litang along the great river, and recruited migrant workers to build roads. Later, due to the tense situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the subgrade was damaged, and the Liuzhou-Nanning railway was finally lost. After liberation, the Party and the people's government are very concerned about the construction of Gui Xiang railway. From 1950, 10, 10, the Laiyong Railway was built according to the instructions of the CPC Central Committee. Track-laying arrived in Nanning on the evening of February 23rd 195 1, and started to operate on February 25th 10. Because the railway station is located in Nanning, it is named "Nanning Station". Recalling that at that time, Deng Changhui, then deputy stationmaster of 1986 Nanning Station, said that because it was the first railway built in Nanning's history, many people gathered to celebrate its opening.

Deng Changhui said that at the beginning of the station, the overall construction area of Nanning Station was 45 12 square meters, with only five lanes, 1 old forklift. The station building covers an area of 275 square meters, with three warehouses and a freight yard covering an area of 4,500 square meters. There are 2 pairs of trucks and mixed passenger and freight trains 1 pair every day.

Deng Changhui said, 1 August, 9551day, China and Vietnam officially handled the international combined transport business of Nanning Railway Station. From the mid-1950s to the 1960s, especially in the era of aiding Vietnam and resisting the United States, various materials were continuously sent to all parts of Vietnam through Nanning Station. 1978, in order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the autonomous region and welcome brothers and sisters from all corners of the country with a brand-new attitude, Nanning Railway Station was rebuilt for the first time-all the old stations were demolished and rebuilt, and the newly-built station frame is still in use today.

According to Lu Fuqing, the stationmaster of Nanning Station 1978, on New Year's Day, the Ministry of Railways examined and approved the investment and construction of Liuzhou Bureau, and completed the construction design in March of the same year. The autonomous region consists of a leading group and a construction headquarters, with the first construction and installation company of the autonomous region as the main force, including the construction team of Liuzhou Railway Bureau *** 108.

"In February 1978, 16, the capacity expansion and new construction of Nanning Station started. It took nine months to build VIP rooms, ticket offices, private rooms, office buildings, platforms, canopies, overpasses, squares and other facilities. " Liu, then the stationmaster in the early 1980s, told the reporter, "It was completed that year1October 20th 165438+, and the construction area of the new station was 12065 square meters. Among them, the waiting room is 18 times that when it was built in the early 1950s. 65438+February 1 Resume passenger transport business. "

From the photos of 1978 after expansion, it can be seen that Nanning Station after transformation is roughly similar to Nanning Station. The new station building makes full use of the original equipment, with reasonable design and layout, magnificent momentum, simplicity and generosity, and quite national characteristics. After more than 50 years of development, Nanning Station still stands in the center of Nanning. Although it has made an important contribution to the traffic in Nanning, due to the development of the times, Nanning Station needs to be further expanded, transformed and renovated to meet the growing traffic demand. On June 20th, 2000, 10, the main station building experienced a new look. After the transformation, the main station room is spacious and bright, and it is integrated with the soft-seat waiting room and ticket hall, becoming a beautiful landscape in Nanning, the capital.

Keeping pace with the times and never falling behind is the main theme of Nanning Railway Station. According to Sun Xilin, propaganda assistant of Nanning Railway Station, in 2003, Nanning Railway Station carried out corporate culture construction, including station flag, station song, station emblem, station spirit, management, safety and service concept.

In 2004, in order to welcome the China-ASEAN Expo, the station was rebuilt again, including the renovation of two waiting rooms, the overall renovation of the ticket hall and overpass, the beautification of the whole station area and the construction of corresponding supporting systems. The transformation further optimized the service facilities, improved the service level, and made Nanning Station welcome visitors from all directions with a brand-new look. While improving the service facilities, in order to meet the demand of China-ASEAN Expo, Nanning Railway Station launched the activity of "Love Expo, Quality Service" to let employees learn ASEAN etiquette, understand ASEAN customs and habits, and provide better service for foreign guests from ASEAN countries who come to Nanning to participate in China-ASEAN Expo. The establishment of "Heart-to-Heart" ticketing information desk and "Family Service Desk", and the opening of a series of services such as1185 postal booking express and online ticket purchase have provided more convenient and efficient services for passengers. Yesterday morning, the reporter crossed the No.3 platform from the underground passage of Nanning Railway Station and came to the high-speed rail platform. Walking out of the exit, the grand, spacious and beautiful high-speed rail platform suddenly appeared in front of the reporter. On the east side of the platform, two signs that read "Nanning Station" have been hung. Many workers are still busy laying floor tiles at the scene.

"The long rail of the high-speed rail platform has been laid and the main project has been basically completed. Now it is mainly to decorate overpasses and tunnels, and some electrified equipment is also being installed and debugged. " Tang, secretary of the second project department of Nanning Railway Hub of China Railway 25th Bureau, introduced that the renovation of Nanning Railway Station was carried out in the North Yard and the South Yard successively. First, the North Yard will be built. After the North Campus is put into use, the South Campus will be closed for renovation.

"After the high-speed rail platform is opened, the bullet train can enter Nanning Railway Station." Tang said that according to the relevant requirements of the railway department, the high-speed rail platform of Nanning Railway Station should be completed before 65438+February 10 to meet the traffic conditions of motor trains. At that time, after the newly-built high-speed rail line is connected to Nanning Railway Station, EMUs can enter the high-speed rail platform.

After the reconstruction of Nanning Railway Station, the newly-built platform is 550m long,10.5m wide and10.25m high, which looks like "Gao Fushuai" compared with the railway station platform. Generally speaking, the high-speed rail platform is magnificent, spacious and beautiful. The tiny pillars on the platform hold up the awning, just like handfuls of giant umbrellas, which provide shelter for the passengers on the platform. According to reports, the small structure of the column is mainly to reduce the area occupied by the column on the platform, thus making more space for passengers on the platform. At this time, some workers also laid floor tiles and blind road tiles on the platform floor.

Two passenger overpasses span each platform, and the overpass passage is about 10 meter wide. Every platform that the overpass passes through has a ladder to get on and off the platform. At that time, passengers only need to follow the signs to get on and off. In addition, the passenger tunnel passes under the track.

Li Xingjie, deputy director of the engineering department of the second phase of Nanning Railway Hub of China Railway 25th Bureau Company, said that the No.5, No.6 and No.7 platforms of Nanning Railway Station's north yard are nearing completion, and seven tracks of the three platforms have been laid. The rest of the construction is still mainly based on the decoration of some passenger overpasses and passenger tunnels, and some electrified equipment is still being installed and debugged. 2065438+completed in April 2005, meeting the train traffic conditions.
