HARBIN, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- Work on a railway tunnel to operate in a region with temperatures as low as minus 35 degrees Celsius was completed Tuesday in northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, according to the operator.

The tunnel, named Aimin, is the last tunnel on the 293-km Harbin-Mudanjiang high-speed rail line, which has speeds of up to 250 kph, according to China Railway Construction Corporation.

"Builders have overcome many difficulties such as construction in freezing weather or heavy snow. The Aimin tunnel has laid the foundation for the full operation of the Harbin-Mudanjiang line by the end of 2018," said Li Baocheng, an employee with the company.

China's railway network reached 124,000 km and handled 2,595 high-speed trains by the end of 2016, making up 60 percent high-speed trains worldwide.

Make CHINA a country of 12 hours then 6hours ,that is something counts a lot.

and would eventually bring transport revolution not to china but to the world!

in 2025 the length of China HSR would count 75% of the World!

These workers are wasting no time.

This decrease in time impacts China's entire logistics network. Considering now that China is testing HSR freight trains, lower passenger demand lines can now become very profitable and transport goods much faster (comparable to air) and cheaper. Dual use will provide more reasons to increase the network density.
