In December 2020, electrification of the railway was completed.[2] It opened on 30 December 2020. Initial service provision was three trains in each direction between Dali and Lincang, and one train per day in each direction between Kunming and Lincang.[3] Services will be increased further from 20 January 2021.[4] An extension proposed to Myanmar border town of Mengding and Qingshuihe National Class I border port, a total extension length of 167 kilometers and a design speed of 160 kilometers per hour. It has been included in the national railway "14th Five-Year Plan" development planning research project in April 2023, but operated as separate line.
