Travel by high-speed rail

China Railway High-speed (CRH) is the high-speed rail service operated by China Railway. All trains were originally marked as “CRH”, before changed shortly afterwards to the Chinese Characters “和谐号” on the center of the head vehicles and the side of the walls of other vehicles. All high-speed trains in commercial use in China are named CRH. CRH1/2A/2B/2E/5 are expected to have a maximum speed of 250 km/h (160 mph), and CRH2c/3 have a maximum speed of 250 km/h (220 mph). The new train sets CRH380A have the maximum test speed of 416 km/h (258 mph). The fastest train sets CRH380BL has the maximum test speed of 487 km/h (302 mph). The map above shows the high-speed rail map currently  in China. The solid line represents the railway that is in operation and dotted line shows the railway that is under construction.  The most efficient railway service in China is the Intercity railway/high-speed train and bullet train.
