So that's why I'm on the lookout for the one train that has, in the past, starts at LHW.

You're gonna be on the train for 24 hours whether it starts in Lanzhou or starts elsewhere. Based on my experience, taking the train starting in Lanzhou will get you about 2 hours Max before things get dirty. Not worth being picky IMHO. Take the one with the best timing.
