Abstract: Railways are an important means of transportation for citizens' travel and logistics in China. The newly-built Dongsheng-to-Taigemiao Railway in Ejin Horo Banner is located in the central and southern regions of Inner Mongolia. The goaf areas that affect the line are mainly Wangjiata,Chahasu,Mataihao,and other coal mines. This article discusses the schemes for bypassing goaf areas and reducing the overlying of mineral resources. The research on the design schemes is carried out from the dual perspectives of engineering safety and resource economy,which has important guiding significance for railway construction.

Key words: goaf, mineral resources, Dongsheng-to-Taigemiao Railway, bypassing, overlying of mineral resources, security, economy
