Zhu-Ru Narrow-Gauge Railway

The Zhu-Ru Narrow-Gauge Railway (驻汝铁路) was completed and opened to traffic in 1981 and is under the jurisdiction of the Zhumadian Local Railway Command of Henan Provincial Local Railway Bureau.

The line is 33 kilometers long, starting from Zhumadian East Station (驻马店东站) in the west and ending at Runan Station (汝南站) in the east. Laojunmiao Station (老君庙站) is the hub station on the Zhu-Ru Line, where it intersects with the Lao-Du Line. The Lao-Du Line was completed and opened to traffic in 1976, connecting Laojunmiao Station in Runan County and Dushancun Station (独山村站) in Queshan County (确山县).

Zhuru Railway is one of the last lines to be suspended among Henan local railways. Before the suspension, the main source of cargo for the Zhu-Ru Line and Lao-Du Line was ore from Dushan Village. After the local mining stopped, the two lines gradually lost their functions. In 2013, a train collided with a car at a level crossing, prompting the line to finally be suspended.

Laojunmiao Station

Laojunmiao Station is located in Xiaotun Village, Laojunmiao Town, Runan County, Henan Province. The Zhu-Ru Line and Lao-Du Line meet here. The station was put into passenger operation in 1993 and stopped in 2003. With the development of road transportation, the narrow-gauge system was gradually discontinued. There were dozens of severely rusted abandoned locomotives and carriages, but they were demolished in early 2025.
