Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
The Chinese railway dates back approximately 130 years. The first railway line; Wu-Song; was built in 1876 in Shanghai with a length of 14.5km and a track gauge of 762mm. The first railway built by Chinese engineers is the Jingzhang-Railway (Beijing to Zhangjiakou); finished between 1905 and 1909 with a total length of 201.1km; a small curve radius of 182.5m and four tunnels with a length of 1.6km. The Chief Engineer; Zhan Tianyou; who used a switchback to overcome a steep gradient; is called the father of China's railway due to his achievement in construction of this railway line. Since that time; the Chinese railway has written its own story. At the beginning of the modern era; 21;810km of railway lines were in operation. Due to the economic reforms up until the late 1980s; the Chinese railway begun to grow significantly to meet the requirements of the growing economy and population. Over the last decade; the topic of high-speed railway has become a very important one for the Chinese railway industry.
