Shanghai, China Phone: Not AvailableAbout
China Railway High-speed (abbreviated CRH) is the high-speed rail service operated by China Railways. Hexie Hao (simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese: pinyin:; literally "Harmony") is the designation for rolling stock operated for this service. All trains were originally marked "CRH", before changed shortly afterwards to the Chinese characters" on the centre of the head vehicles and the side of the walls of other vehicles. The introduction of CRH was a major part of the sixth national railway speedup, implemented on April 18, 2007. However, not all high-speed trains in China are named CRH.[clarification needed] 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 350 km/h (220 mph).
