"Zixia Fairy" premiered on the morning of July 30, which is the first train of CRT Line 9 Phase I project of Chongqing City Transportation Development & Investment Group. The train was put in place following the completion of preliminary rail construction, power supply, and overhead line system projects. After that, the office and living areas in the depot will be gradually completed and put into use, rendering strong back-up to the follow-up operations.

At 6:30 a.m., six trailers carrying fuchsia train carriages set off from Yuzui to Taishang Depot on Line 9 near the Yubei Shengming World Trade City. Then two cranes successfully lifted the carriages gradually, among which the heaviest locomotive weighed 36 tons.

After the carriages were placed on the receiving line, the workers on the scene carried out the initial coupling, hauling, and warehousing. By noon, the train had been successfully coupled, and then it was towed by tractors to the static adjustment warehouse for about a week of adjustment.

The trains on Line 9 consist of 6 carriages, respectively, with a carrying capacity of about 2,000 passengers at a time during peak hours. Unlike other CRT lines in Chongqing, ring handrails and seat barriers are added to the trains on Line 9 to safeguard passengers better. Apart from that, as the main basis for evaluating the comfort degree of a train, the riding index of these trains is also higher than the general standard.

Laying a solid foundation for the early completion of phase I of Line, the phase I project has a total length of 32.29 kilometers, of which the underground line is 29.91 kilometers long, and the elevated track is 2.38 kilometers long, including 25 stations and 24 sections.

Since the construction resumed, the construction organizations have surmounted the impact of the epidemic, difficulties in resource organization, and the complex environment of the main urban area. In strict compliance with safety and environmental protection requirements, they have improved construction efficiency, accelerated project progress, and achieved excellent results. In any case, the train reception this time will underpin the early completion of the subsequent operation of Line 9 solidly.
