Andrew can you confirm if this line is using 2x25 kV Traction system. the top feeder line (marked in yellow circle) gives me that impression.

We in India have one line using that system, however upcoming DFC (East and West) are both going to employ 2x25 kV AC Traction.

lol, I'm not into such field.
What's so special with such traction system?
And I don't think we use this term in China, never seen other fans mentioning it.

There are two conductor wires each at 25 kV, and with respect to earth return the voltage becomes 50 kV. It ensures far lesser electrical losses and usually employed on heavy haul lines.

High-speed train for extremely low temperatures wins approval in China

Chinese train maker CRRC Corp Ltd will put high-speed trains into operation by the end of the year that can run in adverse weather conditions and extremely low temperatures, officials said on Thursday.

CRRC said it has received approval from the National Railway Administration for the CRH2G high-speed train, which can operate in temperatures as low as-40 C and also in sandstorms and strong winds. In addition, it can be used in altitudes as high as 3,600meters.

Ji Jialun, a railway expert at Beijing Jiaotong University, said that the new model may open market possibilities in regions like the Middle East and Russia, where trains are required to withstand sand-storms and extreme weather.

According to company officials, the new bullet trains were developed after three years of research and development.

Qingdao Sifang Co Ltd, a CRRC unit, will make the trains, which will be used in the Lanzhou-Xinjiang high-speed railway line by the end of the year, according to Cheng Jianfeng, a senior engineer and designer with Qingdao Sifang.

"The high-speed line will connect Lanzhou, capital of Gansu province, and Urumqi, capital of the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region. The CRH2G provides more adaptable options for domestic bullet train networks in deserts and plateaus," he said.

In Xinjiang, a region with an arid climate, the railway passes through four major high-wind areas. The biggest challenge in operating a high-speed train in the region is how to cope with strong winds that bring sand and dust.

A normal train that runs between Lanzhou and Urumqi has to be cleaned every three days. The new model, however, needs to be cleaned just once in one or two months, which will help save on energy and maintenance costs, said Cheng.

"The CRH2G is also suited to the diversified requirements of various countries. It will help boost China's high-speed train exports and improve its competitiveness in the global market," said Cheng.

China has built a high-speed railway network of about 17,000 kilometers, accounting for more than 60 per cent of the world's total.

China's High-Speed Rail showcases expertise in Malaysia
December 11, 2015

The China High-Speed Railway (HSR) Showcase, organized by China Railway Group, kicked off here on Friday to demonstrate the development and accomplishment of China's HSR.

During his speech at the opening ceremony, He Huawu, chief engineer of China Railway Corporation, said that with its mature technology and abundant experiences, China Railway is willing to share the fruit of the HSR construction with Malaysia and other countries to promote the global HSR development.

Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said the importance of connectivity as a growth driver cannot be underestimated, which is why transport is one of the key sectors for Malaysia-China cooperation.

"Today's showcase organized by China Railway is significant as it will allow us to learn more about the operation, construction, manufacturing and maintenance of HSR," he added.

Themed "Rapid growth of China HSR," the five-day exhibition will fully display China's expertise in such areas as research and engineering designs, equipment manufacturing, construction, technology innovation, operations and maintenance, as well as personnel capacity building.

During the exhibition, the development and benefits of China's HSR will be showcased by exhibition panels, TV commercials, driving simulator and physical model. The models of China's latest high-speed electric multiple unit (EMU), inter-city train, comprehensive inspection train will also on display.

China Railway will also collaborate with Land Public Transport Commission Malaysia (SPAD) and Han Culture Center Malaysia (HCCM) to organize a symposium on HSR technology.

The Chinese government has been paying high attention to the development of HSR. By the end of 2015, there will be over 19,000 km of HSR in operation in China, representing more than 60 percent of the world's total HSR distance.

Coastal express railway opens in NE China
(Xinhua) Updated: 2015-12-17 14:24

SHENYANG - The first coastal express railway in northeast China was officially put into use on Thursday, injecting new vigor to the old industrial belt.

The 290.7 km Danda Railway links the coastal cities of Dandong and Dalian in Liaoning Province. Trains can run at speeds of 200 km per hour, according to Shenyang Railway Bureau.

Construction of the railway for both passenger and cargo transportation began in 2010. Initially, 24 passenger trains and 34 freight trains will run on the line each day.

The railway, the first between the two important port cities, will boost the local economy, said a railway official.

Connected with the Shenyang-Dandong high-speed railway (HSR) and the Harbin-Dalian HSR, the new route is an important addition to the railway network in Liaoning.

Dandong is the key hub for trade, investment and tourism between China and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
