　　双十一“剁手”的你，肯定在担心快递爆仓收不到包裹吧？

据人民铁道网官方微博：11月11日至20日，铁路部门推出“电商黄金周”，与电商和快递企业合作，提供高铁快运和铁路干线运输物流服务。
双11全国民众疯狂购物，每年的速递数量直线上升，为解决货运问题，今年当局开通200班高铁，用作运载速递货件，以加快物流速度。照片显示，装着速递的麻包袋，由工人搬上列车，放在座位、走廊上。

According to the Chinese railway network official micro-blog:
11.11 -11.20
China HSR launched extra 200 train to provide high-speed rail express and railway transport logistics services.

Double 11 is national people crazy shopping day, to solve the problem of freight, the extra 200 high-speed rail will work as a carrier express, help to increase the logistics speed. Photo shows express gunny bags, by workers onto the train, on the seat, the corridor.

China's 600 km/h maglev train test line expects completion in 2021

China's 600 km/h maglev (magnetic levitation) train project, launched earlier this year, is in full swing.

Jia Limin, head of China's high-speed rail innovation program, said a high-speed maglev test line with a length of no less than 5 kilometers under the project is expected to be completed by 2021.

CRRC Corporation Limited, China's largest rail transportation equipment maker, said it would construct the test line.

In addition, Shandong Province in east China plans to construct a high-speed maglev system that runs from Jinan, the province's capital city to Qingdao, which is the first operation line based on this project, Jia said.

"That is the reason why we built the 5-km test line in Qingdao," he said.

CRRC said in October that China was launching a bullet train project containing a 600 km/h high-speed maglev train and a 400 km/h international multimodal transport high-speed train.

Ministry of Science and Technology has decided to transfer some key research projects over to enterprises, such as the CRRC, a conference on major special rail transportation projects announced in October.

CRRC was the first enterprise to take on the trial projects, who received seven out of ten projects from the Ministry of Science and Technology.

The company will also develop maglev trains that travel at 200 km/h under the project.

Are Guiyang and Nanning big cities? These stations are huge!

Yes, quite big, among the top 5 biggest cities in Southwest China after Chengdu and Chongqing.
(Chongqing=Chengdu>Nanning=Kunming>Guiyang).
But both of them are not among Top 50 cities in China, relatively underdeveloped.

Guiyang City has 4-5 million people (3 million in the core districts) and Nanning City has 7 million people (4 million in the core districts) , very typical tier 3 cities with huge development potential. Guiyang is the leading city in terms of cloud computing and big data technology and Nanning is China's ASEAN capital where the China-ASEAN EXPO is held annually.

China is probably providing some consulting service. HST system is complex. It requires national standard to ensure interconnection and future expansion. Chinese system isn't compatible with Japanese system. Last time when an HST tried to incorporate systems from different standards (Japanese and European), it happened in Taiwan and it was a disaster.

You r right about the HSR in Taiwan, it's a technological and financial disaster.
They have just procured new trains out of no reason.

This chart, a comparison of basic technological standards of tracks in China, Japan and Europe, explains why Japanese system is incompatible with other systems. And why Chinese HSRs are compatible with all the existing systems around the world.

Especially the distance between 2 adjacent tracks, only 4.3 m in Japan, but 4.6 m in France and China's Shanghai-Nanjing HSR, and 5m in China's Beijing-Shanghai HSR. The cross section of tunnels in Japan is also the smallest.
This explains why Japanese trains are the most unstable and uncomfortable.

Googled. Below 150 km per hr trains have chinese make bearings. Above 150 km per hr western and japanese make bearings.
One co. has been set up for high speed brgs but trials on brgs are on.

Not now, google cannot show recent updates of Chinese resources from China.

Numerous Jiaotong universities (jiaotong=transport) and railway academies are in full speed on these projects!

Japan is executing one project namely Mumbai Ahmedabad (~350 kms) line.

However several more projects are planned and many of these lines are more than 1000 kms long.

As i mentioned in one reply earlier, India recognizes Chinese engineering leadership in long distance High Speed Rails and finances notwithstanding, we will see several of the study contracts getting converted to EPC contracts in near future.
Government is also mooting for innovative financing schemes for these special purpose projects and that is why i'm quite sure, China will have a large part to play in Indian HST projects.

Laying tracks and buying rolling stock are different. If it is Japanese who designs the first, then the whole system is doomed.

Yes, it's heavy-haul freight transport.

Another heavy-haul railway in the same region is Datong-Qinhuangdao Railway
