500 km/h Super High-Speed Train Tested By China.BEIJING (Reuters) - China launched a test train super-fast over the weekend that is capable of traveling 500 kilometers per hour, state media said Monday, as the country goes ahead with its ambitions to rail despite serious problems in high-speed network.
The train, made by a subsidiary of CSR Corp Ltd, the largest Chinese manufacturer of trains, is designed to resemble an ancient sword China, the official Xinhua news agency reported.
That "will be a useful reference for current high-speed railway," the training of experts quoted Shen Zhiyun the newspaper.
But the future of Chinese trains will not necessarily work at such high speeds, Zhao Xiaogang chairman of CSR, said the Beijing Morning News.
"We have to ensure the safe operation of trains," he said.
China's railway industry has had a difficult year, highlighted by a collision between two high-speed trains in July that killed at least40 people. Construction of new high-speed trains in China has been close since high.
In February, the Minister of Railways, Liu Zhijun, a key figure behind the boom in the sector, was ousted over corruption allegations that have not yet been tried in court.
