That is really beautiful valley.
Guess rape seed is quite a popular oil seed crop in the region.
here are two pics from similar settings (the crop is mustard that blooms in winter months).

Hey i know this, this is NJ2 class loco.

any idea how much does that cost per km to construct the track u've shown above?

The most costly railway so far in China is not Tibetan railway.
Check page 24 of this thread.

Out of the entire length of the rail line, 324 km (201 mi) are in Hubei and 53 km (33 mi) in Chongqing Municipality.[4] Owing to the difficult terrain, the project involves a large number of bridges (including two over the Yangtze River: the Wanzhou Railway Bridgeand the Yichang Railway Bridge) and tunnels. Out of the line's total 377 km (234 mi) length, 288 km (179 mi) runs on bridges or in tunnels. This made the line the most difficult and the most expensive (per kilometre) of all China's railways to date. At a cost of U.S. $9.01 million per kilometre, the per-kilometre construction costs were twice as high as those for the Qinghai–Tibet Railway which cost U.S. $4.35 million per kilometre.

Yes thats true, tunneling and bridges actually cost the most even for a moderate speed capable line as compared to a high speed track on flat planes. Here in India too, Konkan railways that run parallel to Daunting Western ghats cost far more than similar lines in Gangatic planes. So is the case with new lines being constructed in Kashmir that cross Pir Panjal range.

The trace interval time of Beijing-Shanghai HSR, Beijing-Guangzhou HSR
and Shanghai-Kunming HSR will be shortened to 3 minutes

京沪、京广、沪昆高铁部分区段列车前后追踪间隔将压缩至3分
这两天总公司的会议基本上已经定调了，自从高铁开通以来的历次高铁运行图调整，新线路开通都是在既有图的基础上小修小补，见缝插针，今年七月合福高铁开通后，京沪高铁徐蚌段列车通行压力持续加大；目前全路京沪高铁徐蚌段、京广高铁长广段、沪昆高铁沪杭段通过能力日渐紧张，日均列车达到100对以上，瓶颈压力显现，随着徐兰高速线和沪昆高铁即将全面贯通，高铁紧张区间的压力将进一步增大。因此，总公司决定在今年十一月份完成对高铁运行图的重新铺画，以期望提高列车开行水平，京沪高铁、京广高铁、沪昆高铁的部分区段高铁列车前后追踪间隔将进一步压缩至3分钟，提高列车密度！

After Hefei-Fuzhou HSR launched in June, the passing capability of Xubang section of Beijing-Shanghai HSR is on the verge of saturation. More pressure will be added when Xuzhou-Lanzhou HSR and the final Yunnan section of Shanghai-Kunming HSR are put into operation. Therefore, Chinese Railway Corporation will formulate the new timetable in November this year to promote passing capability by compressing trace interval time into 3 minutes.

The harmonious symphony of infra and mother nature is the most charming one.

If CRC don't do this，they will have to fast-track the 2nd Beijing-Shanghai HSR。

 

[AndrewJin]

If CRC don't do this，they will have to fast-track the 2nd Beijing-Shanghai HSR。

With more and more tributary lines open, trunk routes will be more and more overloaded. It is just a matter of time a 2nd Beijing-Shanghai/Beijing-HK HSR has to be built.

Yes, those congested lines.

Fortunately, a 3rd of the second Beijing-Shanghai HRS is already partially built in the Beijing-Tianjin HSR and the Shanghai-Nanjing HSR for about 415km.

There are 43 pairs of bullet trains daily on Hefei-Fuzhou HSR with mean passenger load factor of over 96%. In the meantime, the ticket fare of airplanes along the newly opened HSR has been lowered by 40%, and long-distance coaches from Fuzhou to Hefei/Wuyuan/Wuhu/Huangshan have been canceled . Mount Wuyi, a UNESCO world heritage site, has witnessed 200% year-on-year growth in the number of tourists. It is estimated that annual sales of Mount Wuyi Tea will add 500 million yuan.

New generation permanent magnet synchronous traction system in trial run

CRH380A-0206，新一代永磁电机装车投入试验, 希望早日商业化生产！

BEIJING, June 24 (Xinhua) -- China's high-speed trains will soon use a permanent magnet synchronous traction system that can run trains at up to 500 kph, the Chinese Economic Weekly reported on Wednesday.

After more than a decade of research and development, the nation's independently developed traction technology is ready for commercial use.

"A 690-kw permanent magnet traction system designed for 500-kph high-speed trains will be produced in small quantities," said Ding Rongjun, general manager of CRRC Corp's Zhuzhou Institute and member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Ding said this would make China one of the few nations to master such technology after Germany, Japan, and France.

"If all goes well, Chinese high-speed trains will soon be equipped with a new system that is more stable and secure and uses less energy," said Li Yifeng, chief designer at the institute.

The company has tested its liability on subway trains which run at a lower speed. In 2011, a 190-kw permanent magnet traction system was used on a subway line in Shenyang, in northeast China's Liaoning Province. It has proven a success, without reporting any failures.

On May 16 this year, the system was introduced to a subway line in Changsha, capital of Hunan Province.

Compared with the alternating current asynchronous motors that are currently widely used on bullet train, the new system increases power by 60 percent while motor attrition decreases by 70 percent, the report said.

Of course they can kiss. They have different designs but have the same heart, standardised techniques!

Andrew i couldn't help noticing an open wagon train in background.
Are these high speed trains sharing rails with freight trains too. And if so how is signalling designed on section.
Thanks!

For the photo u mentioned, that is a loop railway in China academy of railway sciences where any train will receive trial.
Home_CARS

Chinese railway signal systems are mainly C0, C2, C3.
C0 for normal trains no more than 160km/h.
C2 for 200-250km/h trains.
C3 for 300-350km/h trains.

One railway can be equipped with several systems.
So, u can see in China a train first travels on a 350km/h HSR then on 250km/h HSR.
A bullet train can also first travel on traditional railway then on 250km/h HSR.
A traditional train can also travel on HSR at night as the case on Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR
Before a lot of passenger-dedicated railways in operation, a lot of bullet trains ran on upgraded traditional railways with 200-250km/h.

Hence the over-reported（by westerm media) crash near Wenzhou several years back actually involved two EMU trains traveling on old tracks. It WAS NOT a high-speed rail crash as the western media would have their readers believe.

全路动车组列车暑运客流强劲 发送量破1亿
时间:2015-07-31 08:54:10 来源：人民铁道网-人民铁道报 作者：张依
截至7月29日，暑运动车组旅客发送量突破1亿人大关
　　
记者近日从中国铁路总公司了解到，暑运以来，全国铁路动车组列车客流强劲，高铁新线 “首秀”不俗。截至7月29日，动车组列车旅客发送量达10174万人。

　　7月份，铁路部门以新图与暑图实施、新线运营为重点，不断强化客运营销和日常运输组织，大力提升服务水平，努力克服不良天气频发、施工任务繁重等对运输带来的干扰，取得了显著成效。

　　数据显示，7月1日至29日，全国铁路累计发送旅客23232.3万人，同比增长9.1%；日均旅客发送量达801.1万人，同比增加67万人。

　　从全路18个铁路局来看，除哈尔滨铁路局外，其他17个铁路局的旅客发送量保持同比增长。其中，青藏铁路公司和南宁铁路局增幅达50％以上。

　　随着沪昆高铁新晃西至贵阳北段、郑焦铁路、合福高铁等新线开通，动车组列车开行范围日益扩大，旅客出行越来越便捷。7月1日至29日，全路动车组列车旅客发送量达10174万人，同比增长近30%。全路有26条高铁、客运专线动车组列车平均客座率达80%以上，其中贵广高铁客座率超过100%。高铁动卧本月已开行257列，发送旅客17.8万人，上座率达113.7％。

　　暑期也是铁路便民利民措施集中、全面展示的时候。互联网售票、电话订票预售期延长至60天，优化调整了改签、退票办法，高铁动卧家庭包房、女宾包房推出，网购火车票时间调整，购票系统功能持续优化，推出特色旅游列车、自驾游运输班列、务工人员专列等客运新产品……种种举措都是铁路部门为缓解一票难求做出的努力，对接了市场需求，为广大旅客提供了更多的出行选择，提升了旅客的出行品质，让旅客 “说走就走” “想走就走”成为现实，让走在暑运路上的人感到更加温馨。

From 1st July to 29th July, the total passenger volume of bullet trains reached 101.74 million with 30% year-on-year growth. The average passenger load factor is above 80% (Guizhou-Guangzhou HSR over 100%. HSR sleepers 113.7%). Passenger volume of Nanning Railway Bureau and Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company grows by over 50%.
