Abstract  Studies on urban system have been focusing on cities' nodality and intercity connections, while the emerging urban network research brings the two together, and thus providing a new avenue for further understanding urban system. Based on the particular lens of railway traffic flows, this empirical analysis tries to provide a novel research framework towards understanding urban system evolution. Analytical results show that: 1) cities' centrality and intermediacy exhibit completely opposite patterns. 2) The position of cities in the Central Plains presents the overall characteristics of "high centrality-high intermediacy" and "low centrality-low intermediacy". 3) The position of cities in the Central Plains presents a significant "corridor effect", while the impact of different railways on the position of cities is significantly different. 4) The hierarchical structure of cities' centrality is more significant, while the general trend of cities' intermediacy is relatively flat. 5) In the sub-regions of the Central Plains, this paper capture more detailed evidence of the flat development of the urban system.
