About Qinglongqiao Station, Jingzhang Railway

The historic station at the heart of the protected Nankou–Badaling section of the Beijing–Zhangjiakou (Jingzhang) railway, the first major line designed and built by Chinese engineers (1905–1909), under Zhan Tianyou. Here a zigzag switchback lets trains climb the steep Guangou valley; the 1908 station building keeps its original style, with a statue of Zhan Tianyou and his tomb beside it, and suburban Line S2 trains still reverse on the switchback.
