The Jinshan Railway (Chinese: 金山铁路; pinyin: Jīnshān Tiělù) or Jinshan Line is a commuter rail line in Shanghai, part of the Shanghai Suburban Railway. It runs from Shanghai South in Xuhui District via Xinzhuang in Minhang District to Jinshanwei in Jinshan District, crossing the Huangpu River on a dedicated railway bridge. Passengers can transfer to Lines 1, 3, 5 and 15. Originally built in 1975 as a suburban branch, it has since been upgraded into a high-speed commuter rail line which opened on 28 September 2012. The line was branded as Line 22 before opening. However, there is another Line 22 in early planning.

It is the first line to provide "high speed" commuter rail services, with trains travelling up to 160 km/h (100 mph), compared to 80–100 km/h (50–60 mph) for regular metro service, shortening the 56.4 km (35.0 mi) between Jinshan and downtown to 32 minutes travel time for non-stop express trains, and 60 minutes for other trains,. The Shanghai-Jinshan line is the first local rail system that supports the public transportation card.

Initially daily passenger flow only just 13,000; this had increased to 33,000 per day by 2019. The total ridership for the first seven years of the line’s operation was over 60 million.

Future expansion

Extension to Shanghai Hongqiao

In February 2021, it was stated that a project to increase the capacity of the line would start before the end of the year, and the possibility of services running to Shanghai Hongqiao railway station was being explored.

Extension from Shanghai South Railway station

A branch line to Sanlin South on the Airport Link line is in the planning. Another branch line to Shanghai Stadium has been planned.

Southern extension: Jinshan-Pinghu City Railway

There are also plans to extend the line west to Haiyan County via Pinghu. The Jinshan-Pinghu municipal railway is a commuter-oriented, public-transit railway that uses national trunk lines, national-Shanghai joint-venture railway trunks, and municipal railways to share resources. It plans to maintain the technical standards, transportation organization, and operation management model of Jinshan Railway. The construction length of the line is 50.51 kilometres (31.39 mi), including 9.7 kilometres (6.0 mi) in Jinshan section, 24.32 kilometres (15.11 mi) in Pinghu section, 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi) in Jiaxing Port section, and 11.79 kilometres (7.33 mi) in Haiyan section. The total investment of the project is estimated to be about 17.089 billion yuan. There are eight stations, including one interchange station at Jinshanwei, six new stations (Dushan Port East, Dushan Port West, Zhapu, Pinghu, Haiyan Development Zone, Haiyan East), one future station in Lindai. Average station spacing is 8.4 km (5.2 mi), and the design speed is 160 km/h (100 mph). Including the renovation project of Jinshanwei railway station, and one EMU.

It was expected that the project would be completed between the end of 2023 to the first half of 2024. After the expansion project is completed, Jinshan Railway will expand from the existing 37 pairs to about 60 pairs, which can be further enlarged according to demand.
