Due to great economic growth and social development, the People’s Republic of China is rapidly expanding its railway network. The great speed of growth demands quick work: The longterm plan of the MOR (Ministry of Railways) is to expand the network from the current 75,000 to 100,000 km by the year 2020. To increase capacity, both passenger and freight lines are being developed, however, freight and passenger transports are separated. The plan is for around 50 % of the total network to be doubletracked and electrified and for the network to conform to modern standards in terms of quality and comfort. The construction plan also features high-speed lines – including the 114 km section between Beijing and Tianjin, linking a venue of the Olympic sailing competition with the Olympic metropolis Beijing, which went into operation on schedule for the Olympic Games 2008 after some three and a half years of construction.
