That's huge!
Sad news is our nostalgic non-A/C slow trains are seldom to be seen, a loss of railway fans
Recently, the last non-A/C train in Wuhan Railway Bureau has been replaced, an end of era.

The final day of Nanjing West Railway Station and non-A/C train in Nanjing
I took a bullet train to Nanjing, and then took the last non-A/C train to Nanjing West Railway which was closed at that day. Such a nostalgic journey, engraved in my memory forever.

Chinese locomotives shipped to Saudi Arabia

Written by Keith Barrow



CHINA's CRRC Corporation has shipped the first two units from an order for eight six-axle diesel locomotives from Saudi Railways Organisation (SRO).

The SDD17 locomotives were ordered last December and built by CRRC subsidiary Qishuyan Locomotive Company.

CRRC says the locomotives have a nominal output of 2.07MW and are designed to operate in hot, dry environments where wind-blown sand is a frequent problem.

For nostalgic sake？

Yes, non-A/C train is a symbol of the last era, seldom to be seen in most regions now. Every non-A/C train is updated to an A/C train, some nostalgic people feel hurt.

Today me being too nostalgic, let me post some update about a new HSR.
吉林至珲春铁路客运专线开始全线试运行 - 行业 - 人民铁道网 - 中国官方铁路门户

Jilin-Hunchun HSR starts trial run on 5 August

The 361km 250km/h Jilin-Hunchun HST began construction in 2011. Viaducts and tunnels account for 25% and 43.4% respectively of the total length. After inauguration, it will be part of the rapid railway network of Northeast China along with Changchun-Jilin HSR, Harbin-Dalian HSR, Panyin HSR and two new lines due to open late this year (Shenyang-Dandong HSR and Dandong-Dalian HSR). It is dubbed as the most beautiful high-speed railway of Northeast China since it connects some of the most charming tourism sites in NE China. It is said that this railway will be further linked to Russian city Vladivostok.

　　吉珲客专于2011年8月16日正式开工建设，全线建设里程约361公里，设计运行时速为250公里。

　　6月26日联调联试以来，经过轨道、路基、桥梁、通信、信号设备等动态检测，目前全线具备试运行条件。

　　试运行期间，动车组列车将进行参数测试、故障模拟及应急演练和按图行车，通过检验各系统在正常与非正常条件下运输组织的适应性验证行车组织方式能否满足运营要求，通过检验设备故障和自然灾害条件下的应急处理能力为正式开通运营提供技术依据。

　　该线共建有桥梁115座，累计长度91公里，占线路总长的25%。全线新建隧道85座，累计长度155.7公里，占线路总长的43.5%。全线共设有吉林、蛟河西等9座车站。

　　吉珲客专开通运营后，将与长吉城际、哈大高铁、盘营高铁和即将开通运营的沈丹客专、丹大快速铁路等共同构成东北地区铁路快速客运网。

　　由于沿线经过 “关东第一山”长白山、 “北国明珠”松花湖、 “关东奇山”拉法山等众多风景名胜，自然风光雄奇壮丽，因此吉珲客专被誉为 “东北最美高铁线”。

　　开通运营后，吉珲客专将成为带动图们江区域合作开发的“新引擎”，对促进吉林省融入国家 “一带一路”战略，拉动地方经济社会发展，特别是对增进少数民族地区经贸、旅游、文化等交流具有十分重要和积极的推动作用。

The government of the Chinese province of Jilin has proposed to construct a high-speed railway between Hunchun (on the China-Russia border) and Vladivostok, Interfax reported on Thursday, citing the Primorye Administration.

The idea was discussed at a meeting between Primorye Governor Vladimir Miklushevsky and the first secretary of Jilin Province's Communist Party of China Committee, Bayin Chaolu.

“We have an idea to build a high-speed railway to Vladivostok,” Chaolu said. “By August, we will already launch a segment to Hunchun. If we manage to extend it together, it will be the first cross-border high-speed backbone between Russia and China.”

According to the report, Miklushevsky is interested in this project and said he would hold talks with the head of Russian Railways, Vladimir Yakunin.

Earlier it was reported China’s Heilongjiang Province proposed to the Far Eastern Railway (a branch of Russian Railways) to launch a passenger service between Harbin and Vladivostok.

book first class than

For D-class bullet train（200-250kph), ticket fare of first class only 20% higher than second class, first class seats are often sold out first.
