K-series (trains)
The K series () is a train service speed level by China Railway. K stands for "''kuaisu''" (high-speed). However, they are likely to be the most commonly seen trains in China. Those trains make less stops than the number-only trains, but run at the same speed as them. For this, the K-series are sometimes mentioned as "''Keng''" (a scam) by Chinese Railfans. Train numbers are written in the form of K*** or K****, but the letter K reads as "kuai (快)" in station announcements and radio contacts. History 1997–2004 The K-series trains first appeared in the first railway speed-up campaign as a service speed level, lower than the T-series but faster than the number-only series. The letter K was used in a train number for the first time in China. All the train numbers in the level were K***. 2004–2009 With more and more short-distance K-series trains are made, the idea of N-series (管内列车) level was brought up in the fifth railway speed-up campaign. The train numbers ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Campaign To Raise The Speed Of Railway Travel In China
The Campaign to raise the speed of railway travel in China or the China Railway Speed Up Campaign (中国铁路大提速) was a series of initiatives undertaken by the Ministry of Railways from 1997 to 2007 to increase the speed of train travel in China by improving the nation’s railways. The campaign was implemented in six rounds and increased average speed of passenger trains in China from 43 km/h to 70 km/h. Overview In 1993, commercial train service in China averaged only 48 km/h (30 mph) and was steadily losing market share to airline and highway travel on the country's expanding network of expressways. The MOR focused modernization efforts on increasing the service speed and capacity on existing lines through double-tracking, electrification, improvements in grade (through tunnels and bridges), reductions in turn curvature, and installation of continuous welded rail. Through five rounds of "speed-up" campaigns in April 1997, October 1998, October 20 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

L-series Trains
The L-series (; Linke) trains are temporary trains run by railway bureaus of the People's Republic of China at times when they are thought to be necessary, such as the Chunyun period. History 1940–1960 The very first L-series trains appeared during the Anti-Japanese war, when the national railway network was entirely operated by South Manzhou Railway(南满铁路), and controlled by Japan. After the victory of the war, the country was founded, and the National Railway Bureau(国家铁路局), which once called China People's Railway(中国人民铁道) was founded. Then, to meet the transport needs during the Spring Festival (''Chunyun''), the bureau started a "temporary passenger service", which was usually operated using freight wagons as a result of a lack of passenger coaches. The Cultural Revolution During the Cultural Revolution The Cultural Revolution, formally known as the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, was a sociopolitical movement in the People ...

Inter-city Rail
Inter-city rail services are express passenger train services that run services that connect cities over longer distances than commuter or regional trains. There is no precise definition of inter-city rail; its meaning may vary from country to country. Most broadly, it can include any rail services that are neither short-distance commuter rail trains within one city area, nor slow regional rail trains calling at all stations and covering local journeys only. Most typically, an inter-city train is an express train with limited stops and comfortable carriages to serve long-distance travel. Inter-city rail sometimes provides international services. This is most prevalent in Europe, due to the close proximity of its 50 countries in a 10,180,000 square kilometre (3,930,000 sq mi) area. Eurostar and EuroCity are examples of this. In many European countries the word "InterCity" or "Inter-City" is an official brand name for a network of regular-interval, relatively long-distance ...
