At the initial stage from 1876 to 1905, 1876 is not difficult to understand. This year, Wusong Railway, which was built by British capital group headed by Jardine Matheson Group, became the first railway in China. As for why the border is 1905, it is because the Beijing-Zhangjia Railway, which started construction in September of 1905, is the first railway built by China people and has epoch-making significance.
The difficult period from 1905 to 1949. During this period, China was poor, the people were poor, and the railway development was greatly restricted, but it was still struggling.
From 1949 to 265438+at the beginning of the 20th century, after the founding of New China, under the leadership of China, the railway construction in China entered a period of rapid development. 1 952 July1day, chengdu-chongqing railway, the first railway in new China, was successfully opened to traffic. 1 July, 9751day, baoji-chengdu railway, which completed the electrification transformation, became the first electrified railway in China. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway opened to traffic in July, 2006 1 became the plateau railway with the highest altitude and the longest line in the world.
265438+the great development stage of high-speed railway from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. During this period, the state has successively formulated the "four vertical and four horizontal" passenger dedicated lines (completed) and the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network (being implemented) plans, and outlined the grand blueprint of the high-speed railway network in the new period.
The Sixth Speed-up of China Railway;
CRH 1, CRH2 and CRH5 EMUs have been put into operation on a large scale, and the train running speed has reached 200 km/h, of which the speed of some sections of Beijing-Harbin, Beijing-Guangzhou, Beijing-Shanghai and Ji Jiao lines has reached 250 km/h, and China has entered the era of high-speed railways. In freight transport, the existing speed-increasing trunk lines run heavy-haul freight trains with a speed of 120 km/h and a load of 5,000 tons. Through this speed increase, the passenger and freight transport capacity of China Railway increased by 18% and 12% respectively. Since then, China has turned to building high-speed passenger dedicated lines instead of speeding up existing lines on a large scale.
With the opening of Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, Shijiazhuang-Taiyuan Passenger Dedicated Line, Wuhan-Guangzhou Passenger Dedicated Line, Zhengxi Passenger Dedicated Line, Shanghai-Nanjing Intercity Railway and Shanghai-Hangzhou Intercity Railway, a large number of EMUs with speeds of 250, 300 and 350 kilometers per hour have been put into operation, and China's high-speed railways have reached the world advanced level.
