Breaking-News >> TodayHistory On October 1, 1998, China's trains accelerated again
On this day, 27 years ago, on October 1, 1998 (August 11, 1998 in the lunar calendar), China trains accelerated again. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen high-speed train put into operation in August has a "new speed" with a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour. On October 1, 1998, China trains accelerated again. No one gives orders, it's all forced by the market. Starting from October 1st, trains will speed up again. The speed of fast trains in the speed-up sections of the three major trunk lines of Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai and Beijing-Harbin will reach 140 to 160 kilometers per hour, and the speed of fast trains in the non-speed-up sections will reach 120 kilometers per hour. As a result, the train diagram that was revised on April 1 last year due to the speed increase of the train had to be revised again. Two months before this, a high-speed tilting train named "New Speed" with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour had made its debut on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen line. This is a record in the history of China's railways. It is expected that by 2000, the railway boss will also start building the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. In late November 1998, when President Jiang Zemin visited Japan, Japan expressed its hope that they would build the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway. Facing the market, the iron boss had to change his cold face in the past. In addition to constantly speeding up to cope with competition from roads and aviation, he also drove special trains into the homes of ordinary people. On March 18, 1998, a 22-car special train for luggage and luggage was contracted by a private enterprise. During the contract period, this special luggage train will travel between Guangzhou, Beijing and Shenyang on time every day. At present, a more market-oriented train operation plan is in the pipeline: not only will we add fast trains and evening passenger trains, but we will also drive morning passenger trains and evening passenger trains, so that you can go home the same day after finishing your business on the same day.
