As of 2022, my country's railway operating mileage has reached 146,000 kilometers, and high-speed rail has reached more than 40,000 kilometers, making it almost our preferred means of transportation for long-distance travel.
But do you know the difference between the high-speed rail that has been sitting for so long and the bullet train ? In fact, many people have misunderstood it. The full name of
high-speed railway is "high-speed railway", which refers to the entire railway system of road or "road + car". The full name of EMU is "EMU train", which refers to EMU, which is a kind of railway train. When we buy tickets, we will see that each train is marked with G or D, and the full name of the train with the prefix G is "high-speed EMU passenger train". We often think of it as "high-speed rail", but it is actually wrong. The correct abbreviation should be "high-speed train" or "high-speed train", not high-speed rail. As we have said above, high-speed rail refers to roads, and in a broad sense, it refers to a railway transportation system that is faster than ordinary railways. Also included are railway tracks, power supply networks, high-speed trains, communications and shuttle scheduling.
The full name of is "EMU Passenger Train". Like the G prefix, D prefix, and C prefix we usually take, they all belong to the EMU train, so it is called "EMU" for short. To put it simply, high-speed rail and high-speed rail are not the same definition at all.
The difference between the two is mainly reflected in four differences, that is, different trains, different speeds, different tracks, and different driving requirements.
First of all, the number of trains is different, that is, the number of trains starting with G and D. The difference in speed of
is mainly reflected in the speed of 300-350 kilometers per hour for high-speed rail and more than 200 kilometers per hour for bullet trains. Depending on the speed, the price of the ticket purchased is also different. Also second class. The fare with G prefix is 0.48 yuan per kilometer, and the fare with D prefix is 0.31 yuan per kilometer.
Next, let's talk about different tracks. The track used by the high-speed rail is a special track, such as Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail , which is why it is called high-speed rail. The rails and rails used by the bullet train can be either special rails for high-speed trains or modified ordinary rails, with good compatibility.
Finally, regarding the difference in driving requirements, because the high-speed rail can be called a dedicated line, there will be very few platforms on the whole line. EMUs mainly run on intercity lines, so there will be more platforms along the line.
At present, the trains running on my country's high-speed railways are EMUs, each with 8 carriages. Among them, there can be 6 trailers and 2 trailers, that is, 6 vehicles have power, and the other 2 vehicles do not. It can also be 4 tow and 4 tow, and there will be 8 vehicles with full power at the same time.
Similar to China, Japan also has high-speed trains, and they are all EMUs. But in European countries, such as Germany and France, there are still traditional trains running on their high-speed railways.
