The railway is 264 km (164 mi) in length and runs east from Ürümqi to Wucaiwan (Chinese: 五彩湾, in Jimsar County) to Jiangjunmiao (Chinese: 将军庙), in the northern part of Qitai County. The line opened in 2009 and was built primarily to carry coal.
At its northern end, the line meets the Altay–Fuyun–Zhundong railway.
