Chinese Railways
I think it's time we start such a thread about the world's leading railway builder.
Some basic info from SSC about the HSR plans until 2012: Quote:

o wow
|
380 kmh= 230 mph
damn. that's awesome. Are all the new lines engineered to that, or are these going to be used on a special route? |
Impressive plans, however I'm a bit surprised that there aren't more plans for HSR lines in the south such as Guangzhou-Zhanjiang-Haikou-Sanya or Guangzhou-Nanning-Kunming.
Considering the growth rates of the Hainan and Kunming airports those routes should be quite profitable. |

I'm not going to make it a habit posting stuff related to public transportation in this thread, but here's a plan for the future metro system of Beijing:

^ wow, only four years to build
|
Damn! That first train is fucking amazing! Wish something like this was build in the US.
Or maybe I should move to China! Gotta learn Chinese first though... |
Very nice. A 10 km long bridge? An 8 km long tunnel? Bridge/tunnel for 66% of its length?!?! The route must be incredibly mountainous, no?
Four years to finish that kind of thing is absolutely mind blowing. |

those stations are mind blowing, love the Shenzhen one especially, and the Qingdao.

Amazing! Simply amazing!
The architecture of the stations is great. Although my one complaint would be that lots of the don't appear to be very incorporated into their surroundings. They are just surrounded by parking and roads. I'd much rather see that stuff go underground with more intense development happening right around the stations. |
Wow, some amazing stuff going on in China. This railfan is impressed.
