First non-stop train starts in southern part of Xinjiang
Published: 2015-10-21 1:08:01

The Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region's first non-stop inter-city train service was launched on Tuesday between Korla in the region's south and the capital Urumqi.

With a maximum speed of 160 kilometers per hour, the train, Star of Southern Xinjiang, took four-and-a-half hours to get to Urumqi. It features new technologies and fast speed, news site ts.cn reported Tuesday.

The train can operate non-stop for 20 hours, and the new equipment guarantees a smooth ride.

Currently, only trains from Xinjiang to Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou use such equipment. The train offers multimedia devices, refrigerators and vacuum toilets, as well as special carriages, seats and toilets for the disabled.

Korla is a city in southern Xinjiang, the scene of some terrorist attacks in recent years.

We should build more HSRs in Xinjiang apart from Lanzhou-Xinjiang HSR, such as Urumqi-Shihezi-Kazakh border , Shihezi-Karamay-Beitun, Urumqi-Aksu.

It explains why we build HSR so efficiently!

China joins global elite in fast rail - China - Chinadaily.com.cn

In December 2013, the institute brought the system to bullet trains, expecting speeds of 500 km/h. Trials were undertaken on several trains in October.

Jia Limin of Beijing Jiaotong University, who heads China's high-speed railway innovation program, said that if everything goes well, trains equipped with the new traction system will become fully operational by 2018.

Xinhua News Agency, Changsha, October 26 - (Reporter Yang Chien)-equipped with the Zhuzhou Electric Corporation developed TQ-600 permanent magnet synchronous traction motor and China in the first column, 'the permanent high-speed rail,' recently passed the first round of the line running test vehicle assessment This means that China's high-speed rail power is undergoing revolutionary change, to become the world's few master 'the permanent high-speed rail' pull technology of the country.

According to the permanent magnet motor Zhuzhou Electric Company R & D manager Yan Song was introduced, TQ-600 permanent magnet synchronous traction motor is a national 863 'high-speed rail technology and equipment developed major key projects,' the sub-topics by using the world's new rare earth permanent magnet materials effectively overcome the permanent loss of field problems of the world, while its clever bearing cooling structure design can effectively reduce the bearing temperature, to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the traction power, it can be described as high-speed rail traction power of 'sophisticated artifact.'

With the existing high-speed EMU CRH380A YQ-365 asynchronous traction motors compared, TQ-600 permanent magnet synchronous traction motors reduce weight by 35%, while efficiency will increase more than 3 percent, saving more than 10 percent. In a high-speed rail marshalling column 8 calculated daily round trip Beijing-Shanghai line, after loading the 'tip artifact,' a year, saving more than 100 million kwh.

After a 'DC', 'exchange', the world rail vehicle traction technology is moving version 3.0 'permanent magnet' drive technology development. As China has completely independent intellectual property products, TQ-600 permanent magnet synchronous traction motors R & D success, not only opened China's high-speed rail 'permanent magnet drive era' prelude, but also for our high-speed rail to win the opportunity to participate in international competition.

Exciting news, the new era of Chinese high-speed rail! I think this technology is one aspect of the ongoing industrial revolution.

Just like these giant pandas, the number of both enclosed and wild pandas is on the stable rise!

Just finished my long anticipated trip to Chengdu panda base, will take intercity HSR to Leshan for the giant Buddha tomorrow. Have to end the trip soon, my boss wants to see me in Shanghai for my paper.

Buying panda souvenirs now, will have "stick stick delicious" hot pot later.

So many early birds like me!

Will arrive in Leshan in one hour, later!

Panda city, good bye for half a day

You took all these pics @AndrewJin ?

Good job!

Cuteness overload from the Pandas!!

Are they more spicy/strong like Sichuanese cuisine in general?

Can't wait to to do more hot pot with my Chinese buddies in the upcoming cold Canadian winter .
