FUZHOU, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- The Fuzhou-Pingtan railway in east China's Fujian Province was opened to traffic on Saturday after seven years of construction, making it more convenient for Taiwan compatriots to travel to the mainland.

The 88-km railway, designed to support high-speed trains traveling at a speed of up to 200 km per hour, connects the provincial capital of Fuzhou with the island county of Pingtan, where the Pingtan Comprehensive Pilot Zone was set up in 2009 to facilitate cross-Strait exchange and cooperation.

The Fuzhou-Pingtan railway will link Pingtan with major cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen through the transportation hub in Fuzhou, said Li Fei, an official with the China Railway Nanchang Group Co., Ltd.

The railway will facilitate personnel exchanges across the Strait and further promote the development and opening-up of Pingtan, said Yang Ping-hao, a Taiwan entrepreneur in Pingtan.

Taiwan compatriots can now travel more conveniently to many parts of the mainland after arriving in Pingtan by sea, he said. The pilot zone currently houses around 1,000 Taiwan-invested firms.

Starting Jan. 20, up to 17 sets of bullet trains will run on the line every day, up from 9.5 sets plying currently.

BEIJING, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- China's railways will expand by about 3,700 kilometers in 2021, the railway operator said on Monday.

Last year, China put 4,933 km of new rail lines into operation and completed 781.9 billion yuan (119.56 billion U.S. dollars) of fixed asset investment in the sector, the China State Railway Group Co. Ltd. said.

The national railway sector handled 2.16 billion passenger trips in 2020, while the figure is expected to hit 3.11 billion in 2021, a spike of nearly 44 percent year on year.

The railway operator forecast that the sector will transport 3.7 billion tonnes of freight in 2021, an increase of 3.4 percent year on year.

BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- Fuxing bullet trains will run in southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region for the first time in June this year when a new rail line opens to traffic, China's railway operator said Monday.

With the launch of the service, the Fuxing bullet train series will be available in all provincial-level regions on the Chinese mainland, said the China State Railway Group Co. Ltd.

Track-laying work for the rail line connecting regional capital Lhasa and Nyingchi in eastern Tibet was completed on Dec. 31, 2020. It will be the first electrified railroad in Tibet.

The Fuxing bullet train to run in Tibet will be a customised version of the one which runs at 160 km per hour, a source told Xinhua. It will have oxygen supply equipment and two kinds of power traction: internal combustion and electric power, since more than 90 percent of the track will pass through areas about 3,000 meters above sea level.

Internal combustion will be used so that the trains can start internal combustion devices to cope with emergencies on the plateau, the source said.

With a design speed of 160 km per hour, the 435-km rail line passes through 47 tunnels and 120 bridges, according to Tibet Railway Construction Co. Ltd, which is building the railway.

By the end of 2020, Fuxing bullet trains had safely operated over 836 million km, transporting 827 million passengers.

So far, Fuxing electric multiple units trains in service have covered the whole speed range of 160 km per hour to 350 km per hour, which marks an important step in railway technical innovation in China.

"From an economic standpoint, it was worth it. Based on a careful cost and benefit analysis and using a framework similar to the World Bank’s, we estimate that the HSR network confers a net benefit of $378 billion to the Chinese economy and has an annual ROI of 6.5%."

This should be kept confidential. Infrastructure is bad. It is debt-trap. What countries like India need is expensive US military crap.

The "king of power" has successfully ramped up with a 10,000 ton load! The locomotive was able to haul 108 C80 trains with a 10,800 ton load – amounting to 11,700 tons and stretching 1,455m. This result seals its position as “king” as it passes its final assessment. #CRRC
