Anshan Electric Railway, Tramway and Trolleybus Overhead Map, 1983
The tramway line was opened on 1956 January 15. The trolleybus system was opened on opened 1975 January 1.
I have found a "sina" blog post 【厂矿铁路票证】辽宁鞍钢环市铁路客票(1975年1月) that provides information about the Anshan steelworks railway. According to this source, the "City Belt Railway" (鞍钢环市铁路, Āngāng huánshì tiělù) was built in 1919 to carry "ore" (iron ore). The total length was 38.7 km. If I understand correctly, the article states that passenger service was opened in 1932. This line was also known as the 东环市铁路, Dōng huánshì tiělù, "East City Belt [or: City Circle] Railway."
The "sina" post also states that the line had a total of 17 passenger stations (this was the number I counted in 1983).
Passenger service was worked by two formations ("trains," or "trainsets"). Each of these included an electric locomotive and seven (7) passenger carriages. The passenger carriages were the standard "hard seat" (硬座, yìng zuò) carriages, each with a stated capacity of 118 passengers. "Down" services operated six times per day and "up" services operated five times per day.
("Down" implies "from Beijing" and therefore "from Anshan." I am not certain how the service directions "down" and "up" would apply to a circular service ...)
According to the same source, the Āngāng railway line between 南门, Nánmén, and 刘二卜, Liúèrbǔ, was known as the 西环市铁路, Xi huánshì tiělù, "West City Belt [or: City Circle] Railway." It was opened in 1952 and had a total length of 12.5 km. The number of stations is stated as four (I counted five stops in 1983, but I rode this line at night). The passenger formation had nine cars and one goods wagon ("boxcar"). The railway operated nine return services ("round trips") per day.
The trolleybus system was closed in 2000 July 1, and the tramway was closed on 2003 April 26. At the time of closure, a Chinese-language newspaper article stated that the tracks would be left in place for future use by a modern light rail transit line. Proposals for such a line are - apparently - under discussion, but have not reached the planning stage.
