Interesting class.
Did your teacher mention Jitong Railway?
Not purely freight though

The city's public transport is separated from HSR/railway, one is run by the city, the later by China Railway.
Ningbo has a very good public transport system, but now mostly reliant on bus.
In terms of subways, there are 2 lines in operation.
Whilst you are there, you will witness the progress of this new subway network by yourself and how this emerging metropolis is growing.

In terms of railways, Ningbo is on a very busy Coastal HSR, Shanghai-Hangzhou-Ningbo-Xiamen-Shenzhen costal corridor.
You can easily navigate this line at weekend by yourself, or even same time to cities like Shanghai/Nanjing/Hangzhou.

To Shanghai, 2 hours, every 10-30 minutes. 50+ services per day.
To Hangzhou (the provincial capital), 1 hour, every 5-15 minutes, 100 services per day
To Xiamen, 5.5 hours, 25 services per day
To Shenzhen, 8.5 hours, 15 per day
To Beijing, 7 hours, 4 per day
To Nanjing, 2.5 hours, 40 per day.

I really like this city, been there for 3 times.
You can have a taste of different images of China at the same time, modern and traditional, also lots of tourist sites in the region!
Water towns, islands, huge huge mountains, classical Chinese gardens.....And sea food OMG.

One example, Yandang Mountains, in nearby Wenzhou City (another major city for Chinese economy)

The entire province has many great tourism sites, very easy to navigate by public transport.

Tag me in this thread if you have any question.
I remember @yusheng is from Ningbo.

Thank You for the detailed response. I'm looking forward to experiencing China's HSR and mass transit once I'm there. I'll be mainly in Ningbo but at times Suzhou for over a period of 3 years.

Those are in very urban regions in China.
But you can easily get closer to the nature.
Lots of awesome places you can experience over the weekend.

What happen to the train today?

 

[AndrewJin]

What happen to the train today?

Beijing North Railway Station and the line in Northwest Beijing have already been torn down.
Zhangjiakou-Beijing HSR is being built there.
Also gone were several of Beijing's last railway crossings at the heart of Zhongguancun high-tech zone.
But the local regions' names remain, such as the subway station name "fifth crossing".

Yes， i am at Ningbo now.
You are welcome, tag me， maybe i could help.

Looks straight of those Western Spaghetti classic movies of 70s.
I really envy Chinese loco pilots who are treated to such stunning views from sea coasts, to snow kissed mountains and majestic rugged terrains.

This is called Merry Go Round arrangement.
It is usually employed as a substitute for conveyor belt system used for continuously transported commodity.
for example in this picture there is a Coal fired Thermal power plant on right of picture which is served by coal trains in Merry Go Round Configuration.

Are these from the JiTong line? Grand.

Is this the one that will pass underneath the Great Wall? I think the existing line has those NDJ3 DMUs.

Fifth level crossing - Wudaokou? I have seen one clip of this crossing in Youtube.

Yes, railways in NE China are always picturesque!

Yes, Beijing-Zhangjiakou-Baotou Railway.
https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/chin...ginal-translation.363685/page-18#post-7007674

The downtown section in Beijing was closed.
Now the Great Wall train starts from a temporary station in an outer suburb until the new HSR opens.
Then these DMUs will move to the new HSR station and terminate at the refurbished Beijing North.
But the tracks between these two stations will be replaced by a tunnel which is being built underneath Wudaokou.

Fifth level crossing - Wudaokou? I have seen one clip of this crossing in Youtube.

Yes, Wudaokou, at the very centre of Beijing's higher-education precinct, the fifth crossing after Beijing North Station.

Old and new together. What is the differences?

Old and new together. What is the differences?

The new Beijing-Zhangjiakou HSR is a Winter Olympics project, also part of the Beijing-Hohhot HSR.
The old one will be mainly for freight transport as well as tourist trains such as this Great Wall DMU.

The new Beijing Qinghe Station will be the main terminal of this HSR, located in Northwest Beijing.
It will serve both railways between Beijing and Zhangjiakou, as well as 3 subways.
There will be also a direct ramp from nearby Beijing-Xinjiang expressway.

The old Qinghe Station (on Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway) will be moved inside the new HSR terminal as a railway museum.

Visit of CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd.

1、CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd.
As the core enterprise of CRRC Corporation Limited), CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. is China's industrialization base of manufacturing high-speed trains, the leading enterprise to design and manufacture the top-grade passenger cars, the state-accredited manufacturers of the domestic metros and light rail cars and the important export manufacturing base of the national rail transportation equipment.

2、Introduction of departments to visit

• National Engineering Laboratory
  
  
  
  
  The National Engineering Laboratory for System Integration of High-speed Train is a R&D base for rail transit equipment approved by the National Development and Reform Commission in 2008. Centering on key technologies and core processes such as system integration, carbody, bogie, electromagnetic compatibility and noise control, the laboratory is built with 16 sets of testing facilities including Test Stand for Comprehensive Rolling Performance of a Complete Train and Test Stand for vibration simulation of a Complete Train as well as a Test Control Center.
  
  
• Metrology & Inspection Center
  
  
  
  
  The Metrology & Inspection Center is the technical support department for product quality control of the company, which mainly undertakes verification/calibration of inspection, measuring and test equipment and physical and chemical inspection tests of raw materials, finished products and half-finished products.
  
  
• Virtual Reality Center
  
  
  
  
  Combining with system integration, man-machine interaction, stereo imaging, holographic imaging and holographic imaging technology, the Virtual Reality Center established a virtual visual simulation platform, so as to improve technical means in R&D process of products. Virtual visual simulation platform brings the world's advanced virtual reality technology as well as the hardware and software platforms together, realizing full-range application of products in the whole product life cycle, from design to manufacturing, from service to promotion. The scientific and technological levels of the company on digitalization, virtualization, interaction and visualization technology for the design and manufacturing of the whole train are improved.
  
  
• Control Center of National Laboratory
  The Control Center of National Laboratory is the management hub for experimental data and simulation data of the company. The control center has three main functions: I. Perform real time monitoring on experimental data and test status of the test benches through the control center. II. Carry out unified management and analysis on experimental data by TDM and TDA data management system of the control center. III. Make organic integration of the test benches and the policies & platforms established by the company through the control center, so as to realize comparison analysis of the experimental data and simulation data.
  
  
  
• Carbody Branch
  
  
  
  
  The total working area of the carbody branch is nearly 117, 000 m2. The branch has 11 production lines, mainly engaged in production of aluminum alloy, stainless and carbon steel carbody. Blanking, forming, machining and welding large components of sheet metal or profiles are completed in the branch. Then the large components will be assembled and welded into the carbody.
  
  
• Final Assembly Branch EMU
  
  
  
  
  The final assembly branch mainly performs integration and commission test on carbody, bogie and hundreds of thousands of components. It is the last process of vehicle production. Providing mainly manufacturing and maintenance of high-speed EMUs, metro vehicles and top grade railway passenger cars, the branch has 141 high-speed EMU final assembly platforms and 76 metro final assembly platforms.
  
  
• Vehicle Commissioning
  
  
  
  
  The vehicle commissioning workshop has more than 20 static test lines for EMUs and metro vehicles, so it is capable of completing simulation experiments of EMUs and metro vehicles under all conditions.
