Railway bulk cargo transportation plays an important role in guaranteeing the strategic material circulation. Analyzing the structure and flow space pattern of railway bulk cargo transportation network can provide theoretical basis for industrial planning and logistics organization. Firstly, the railway bulk cargo transportation network model of Yunnan Province was constructed based on the complex network theory, by using railway cargo arrival and sending data; and the structural characteristics of the railway bulk cargo transportation network were extracted. The spatial analysis method was used to obtain the rail bulk transportation connection strength and flow pattern. The results indicate that: ①The density of railway bulk cargo transportation network in Yunnan Province is 0.05, and the average clustering coefficient is 0.308. The railway bulk cargo transportation network has significant characteristics of small world network. Railway bulk freight nodes obey the power rate distribution, show obvious cluster effect, and have the characteristics of scale-free network. Kunming, Qujing and Chuxiong have a high level of overall centrality, close cargo exchange between nodes and absolute dominance over the circulation of bulk goods. ②The overall freight scale of Yunnan railway bulk cargoes has significant spatial differences, and the freight transportation level of each node is seriously polarized, forming a freight network core with Kunming and Qujing as the main nodes, and bulk freight has high agglomeration. ③The Yunnan railway bulk freight network presents a spatial transportation connection pattern of “center-hinterland”, and the geographical proximity effect of freight connection is significant. It depends on the connection with the core node, which has a certain impact on the inter-provincial freight network structure. ④The Yunnan railway bulk freight network has obvious hub and spoke characteristics. There are great differences in the circulation scale and transportation accessibility of bulk goods at different nodes. The flow direction of goods also shows that the attraction and radiation force of the nodes are heterogeneous.
