Highspeed rail is a type of rail transport that operates significantly faster than traditional rail traffic, using an integrated system of specialized rolling stock and dedicated tracks. While there is no single standard that applies worldwide, new lines in excess of 250 km/hr and existing lines in excess of 200 km/hr are widely considered to be highspeed, with some extending the definition to include much lower speeds (. 160 km/hr) in areas for which these speeds still represent significant improvements. The first such system began operations in Japan in 1964 and was widely known as the bullet train. Highspeed trains normally operate on standard gauge tracks of continuously welded rail on gradeseparated rightofway that incorporates a large turning radius in its design. Many countries have developed highspeed rail to connect major cities, including Austria , Belgium, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, turkey, United Kingdom, United States and Uzbekistan. Only in Europe does HSR cross international borders. China has 16,000 km of HSR, accounting for 60 percent of the world’s total. While highspeed rail is usually designed for passenger travel, some highspeed systems also offer freight service. 1.

The world’s longest highspeed railway route, running from Beijing to Guangzhou, has been in operation for a few years. It cuts travel time between the two cities from 22 hours to only 8 hours. With fortable seats and quiet cabins, this highspeed line offers a pleasant journey for thousands of travelers. The high speed railway connects Beijing with five provincial capitals. Part of the line, from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou, was in operation before the whole line was connected. The opening of the Beijing to Zhengzhou section has connected the entire line. It covers a total length of 2,298 kilometers. The BeijingGuangzhou line connects one third of China’s population and more than 40 percent of its economic power. Travelers benefit from the efficient network, and find that their hometowns are not that far away. As the American publication _Newsweek_ puts it: China is now engaged in a railway revolution. These 350 kilometer per hour highspeed railway trains have made the country’s vast territory substantially smaller, and changed the country economically. world’s longest highspeed railway route, running from Beijing to Guangzhou, has been in operation for a few years.【T】 cuts travel time between the two cities from 22 hours to only 6 hours.【F】 3.
