The Hechun–Maoming railway or Hemao railway (simplified Chinese: 河茂铁路; traditional Chinese: 河茂鐵路; pinyin: hémào tiělù), is a railroad in Guangdong Province, China, between Hechun Station on the Litang–Zhanjiang railway and the city of Maoming. The line has a total length of 61.56 km (38 mi) and was built from 1956 to 1959.[1] The line was originally built to support the development of the petrochemical industry in Maoming.[1] After the completion of the Sanshui–Maoming railway in 1991, the Hemao Line became a connecting section between the Litang–Zhanjiang and Guangzhou–Maoming railways. Together, the three railways form part of China's southern coastal railway corridor.
