Abstract：Railway heritage is attracting increasing attention, and protection and utilization strategies are constantly being refined. However, there are still issues such as insufficient overall recognition of the value of China’s railway heritage and weak systemic activation and utilization. This article explores the evolution of railways from transportation engineering to cultural heritage, as well as the background and uniqueness of China’s railway heritage. It sorts out the cultural value of China’s railway heritage from two perspectives: a timeline and an element line. it constructs a multi-level gene map tree network relationship, and elucidates the diversity and richness of railway heritage value. It then discusses the contemporary significance of China’s railway heritage value, and puts forward that its cultural value lies in being an important composition of cultural self-confidence, providing cultural support for transportation power, and serving as a cultural bond for the Belt and Road. The research aims to deepen the understanding of railway heritage and explore the cultural value connotation and essence of China’s railway heritage, so as to inherit railway culture.
