Why is Foshan Railway Station out of service?

According to the construction plan of Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway, Foshan Railway Station will build a new high-speed railway station near the original site. On September 4th, 2023, the Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed rail link line was officially put into operation, which assumed the function of dissolving the original guangzhou-maoming railway. The freight train of the original Guang Mao Line entered the Guangzhou Hub after passing through Sanshui Station, and no longer passed through Foshan Railway Station. Shashi tie line provides the necessary conditions for the reconstruction of Guangfo Station in guangzhou-maoming railway, thus speeding up the construction progress of the main line reconstruction of Guangfo Section of Guangzhou-Zhanjiang high-speed railway.
