近代淮南铁路沿线城镇的发展(1934—1949)

The development of cities and towns along Huainan Railway in modern times(1934-1949)

为解决淮南煤矿煤炭外运问题,南京国民政府建设委员会修建了淮南铁路。该铁路起自淮河南岸的田家庵,止于芜湖长江对岸的裕溪口,是当时中国铁路建设的成功范例之一。淮南铁路的建成通车,对促进安徽近代经济的发展也起了一定的作用,也是沿线城镇近代发展的主要推力。沿线的合肥、巢湖等城镇因淮南铁路的拉动,城镇的工商业快速发展,商业街区范围扩大;沿线的小城镇如田家庵、水家湖、烔炀镇、柘皋镇等也明显发展。

To solve the problem of shipping the coal of Huainan to other places, the Construction Committee of Nanking National Government constructed Huainan railway. Started from Tianjia＇an district which is south of Huaihe River and ended with Yuxikou which is on the other side of WUhu, this railway was one of the outstanding examples of the railway construction in modern China. The construction of Huainan railway not only played a certain important role in the development of modern economy in Anhui province but also was a main pushing force for the development of modern urban towns along the railway. Cities along this railway such as Heifei, Chaohu developed in a high speed. Industries and commerce in hese cities expanded rapidly. Commercial districts were in a full range extension; small towns along this ailway like Tianjia＇an, Shuijiahu, Tongyang, Zhegao also showed obvious development.
