In 1887, the "China Railway Company" was established in Tianjin. In the second year, Zhan Tianyou was recommended by Kuang Sunmou, a classmate in the United States, to become the first railway engineer in China because he was proficient in railway engineering. He began to be responsible for the construction of the railway from Tanggu to Tianjin, and completed the track-laying project in just over 70 days.
Later, he participated in the construction of the railway from Tianjin to Shanhaiguan, and needed to build an iron bridge on the Luanhe River, in the face of the successive failures of British, Japanese and German engineers to build this iron bridge, he resolutely stepped forward to undertake the task of building the bridge, and finally completed all the projects brilliantly. Zhan Tianyou's greatest contribution in this life is that he successfully built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. In 1905, he served as the chief engineer of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou (Beijing-Zhangjiakou) Railway.
This road passes through mountains and mountains, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers, and the arduousness of the project is unprecedented. He personally surveyed and chose the route. In Donggou, Qinglongqiao, Beijing, a herringbone track is adopted, and two high-horsepower locomotives are used to turn around and push each other to solve the problem of insufficient traction of locomotives with large slopes.
Together with the workers, various measures were taken to solve the difficulties of water seepage and landslide in the tunnel project. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed in 1909, two years ahead of schedule, at a total cost of one-fifth of what foreign contractors were asking for. After the completion ceremony of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, he was appointed as the director of the Sichuan-Hanzhou and Guangdong-Hanzhou Railways or the prime minister and chief engineer.
After the Xinhai Revolution, he served as the chief engineer and superintendent of the Han-Yue-Sichuan Railway, overcame various difficulties, and built a 365-kilometer railway from Wuchang to Changsha.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is a railway connecting Beijing and Zhangjiakou presided over and successfully built by Zhan Tianyou, and is a railway completely financed, surveyed, designed and constructed by China itself, with a total length of more than 200 kilometers. The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is the first railway trunk line designed and constructed by the Chinese themselves, which is the glory of the Chinese people and the Chinese engineering and technological circles, and also a victory in the anti-imperialist struggle of the Chinese people in China's modern history. Although the construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway by the Chinese themselves was a sad victory under the special historical background at that time, Zhan Tianyou and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, as well as the national spirit contained in it, became the eternal pride of the Chinese people.
Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway - "The Glory of the Chinese People" Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, as a symbol of industrial civilization entering China, its development and changes reflect the annual ring of China's century-old development.

Zhan Tianyou is a creative engineer who has the courage to overcome difficulties. At that time, the construction conditions in China were very poor. Zhan Tianyou created the construction method of the middle shaft, enlarged the working face, and improved the work progress.
At that time, China had already begun to build railways, but they were all paid for by foreigners. Zhan Tianyou saw that the Chinese could not build their own railways on their own land, and the railways built by foreigners were used to sell foreign goods and plundered products, Zhan Tianyou sighed! >>>More
The northbound train uses two locomotives when it arrives at the south exit, the locomotive in front pulls the back and pushes, and when it comes to the herringbone fork, it is equivalent to turning it upside down. Turn the train to the northwest, and you can see pulling it in your books.
The historical significance of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway is as follows: Yu Zhao BanquetThe Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway connects Fengtai in Beijing, via Badaling, Juyongguan, Shacheng and Xuanhua to Zhangjiakou in Hebei, with a total length of about one kilometer, completed in 1909, and is the first railway in China that does not use foreign funds and personnel, and is completed and put into operation by the Chinese themselves (before the completion of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, China's first Xinyi Railway from Xincheng to Gaobeidian was also built by Zhan Tianyou, but only for the use of Empress Dowager Cichai Wang Xi to worship ancestors). Zhan Tianyou was the chief engineer of the construction of the railway, and later concurrently served as the general office of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Bureau. >>>More

At that time, Zhan Tianyou couldn't bear to see his motherland occupied by foreigners, and he and other Chinese only workers built this railway in a difficult environment!
