1, the first wave

On April 5th, 1959, the world's first truly high-speed railway Tokaido Shinkansen broke ground in Japan. After five years of construction, 1964 was laid in March, completed in July of the same year, and 10/964 was officially opened to traffic.

2. The second wave

(1990 to the mid-1990s) Most developed countries in Europe, such as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom, built their own or cross-border high-speed railways on a large scale, and gradually formed a European high-speed railway network.

3. The third wave

Since the mid-1990s, there has been a worldwide upsurge in building high-speed railways in Asia (South Korea, China), North America (USA) and Australia (Australia).

4. The fourth wave

Super high-speed rail is a new generation of high-speed rail technology reserve, which is being studied in China, Japan and the United States. 20 15 04 17 "Japan Superconducting Maglev Train Set a New Record of 590 km/h" reported that the Yamanashi Maglev Test Line in Japan will be transformed into an operation line in the future, as a maglev central Shinkansen, with a maximum operation speed of 505 km/h.

Future development prospect

According to the medium and long-term railway network planning, through the construction of passenger dedicated lines such as Beijing-Shenyang, Shanghe-Hangzhou, Zhangjing and Nanchang-Ganzhou, we will build a "four vertical and four horizontal" high-speed railway network with Beijing-Shanghai, Beijing-Guangzhou, Jingha, southeast coast, Longhai, Qingtai, Shanghai-Kunming and Shanghai as the backbone, and at the same time build high-speed railway branches such as Guiguang and Hefu, forming a high-speed railway with rich tentacles, accessible road network and strong capacity in China.

According to the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan" and the "Medium-and Long-term Railway Plan", the high-speed railway in China will usher in a new period of vigorous development in the future. At the same time, with the "going out" of China high-speed railway and expanding overseas markets, the future market prospect of railway public works engineering is broad.
