It is one of the two earliest sources of "Jiaotong University". It is famous at home and abroad for its "Tangshan Jiaotong University" and "Tangyuan". It is known as the "Cornell of the East". Comrade Mao Zedong wrote the name of the school. Since its establishment, the school has been named Tangshan Institute of Engineering, National Jiaotong University, Guizhou Branch, China Jiaotong University, Northern Jiaotong University, Tangshan Railway Institute, etc. In 1952, the colleges and departments of colleges and universities across the country were adjusted, and some faculty members of the school were transferred to Tsinghua University, Tianjin University and other brother colleges. In 1964, according to the spirit of the central government's construction of the "Big Three Line", it moved to Sichuan, and was renamed Southwest Jiaotong University in 1972. There are currently three campuses in Jiuli, Xipu and Emei, covering an area of ​​more than 5,000 acres.

The Emei Campus of Southwest Jiaotong University is located in the scenic Emei Mountain Scenic Area, which is listed in the "World Natural and Cultural Heritage List".
