Does High-Speed Rail Have a Steering Wheel?
1 Answers
High-speed rail does not have a steering wheel. Here are the relevant details: No Need for a Steering Wheel: All railway vehicles, from steam locomotives to diesel locomotives, electric locomotives, and high-speed rail, do not have steering wheels. Early diesel and electric locomotives had hand wheels similar to steering wheels, used for accelerating and decelerating. Trains run along tracks and do not require a steering wheel. High-Speed Rail: High-speed rail, abbreviated as HSR, refers to a railway system designed with high standards to allow trains to operate safely at high speeds. The concept is not limited to the tracks and does not specifically refer to the trains. According to the "High-Speed Railway Design Specifications" issued by China's National Railway Administration, high-speed rail is defined as newly constructed passenger-dedicated railways with a standard gauge, designed for speeds of 250 km/h (inclusive) to 350 km/h (inclusive), operating EMU (Electric Multiple Unit) trains.
