What kind of train is the green high-speed rail?
1 Answers
Green trains refer to ordinary trains. Additional information about green trains is as follows: 1. Model: The passenger car body is typically painted with a green base and yellow stripes. Before the advent of high-speed rail, green trains were the standard appearance of passenger trains in China. Typical examples include the 22 (including various improved models), 23, and 25B series of passenger train carriages. 2. Significance: Green trains are usually slow trains or poverty alleviation trains. The Ministry of Railways stated that starting from the end of 2014, all passenger trains (excluding EMUs, high-speed rail, and intercity trains) would be repainted green, bringing the olive green color scheme back into public view (old exterior, new interior). Before the widespread adoption of air-conditioned coaches and the major speed-up of China's railways, 'green trains' were the standard color scheme for railway passenger cars in China. 'Green trains' represent the most iconic image of passenger trains in China from the 1950s to the 1980s.
