The Beijing-Tangshan Intercity Railway starts from Tongzhou District, Beijing, passing through Langfang City and Baodi District in Tianjin and terminates in Tangshan City, Hebei. The line encompasses eight stations in total: Beijing Tongzhou, Yanjiao, Dachang, Xianghe, Baodi, Yutiannan, Tangshanxi, and Tangshan. Among them, three passenger stations (Yutiannan, Tangshanxi, and Tangshan) are located within Tangshan. The Yanjiao-Tangshan section of the railway was put into operation on December 30, 2022.

Since the full opening of the railway, the fastest travel time between Beijing Tongzhou Railway Station and Tangshan Railway Station has been reduced to just 55 minutes, offering passengers traveling between Tangshan and Beijing a new travel option marked by higher speed and greater convenience.
