4月18日早晨5时38分，由上海站开出的上海至苏州D460次动车组列车，将成为中国首列正式开出时速200公里的旅客列车，它将揭开中国铁路高速时代的序幕。国产化动车组列车时速200公里，部分区段将达250公里。
中国铁路六次大提速：第一次提速——睡一觉,就可以从广州来到北京（1997年4月1日）；第二次提速——广深大提速，铁路终甩“亏损帽”（1998年10月1日）；第三次提速——上海人可以提前一天吃上新疆的哈密瓜（2000年10月21日）；第四次提速——合资铁路公司管辖的铁路第一次纳入提速范围（2001年10月21日）；第五次提速——“Z”字头列车开通，夕发朝至一站不停（2004年4月18日）；第六次提速——国产化动车组列车最高时速250公里（2007年4月18日）。 |

12, 2007. The CRH trains which could run at least 200km per hour, will
serve on high speed routes between major cities after the sixth nationwide
railway speedup from April 18. [Xinhua] |
A train designed to run at a speed of 200 km per hour left east China's
Shanghai for Suzhou early Wednesday morning, ushering in a high-speed era for
the world's fastest growing economy.
Nationwide, 140 pairs of high-speed trains with a speed of 200 km per hour or
a faster speed will begin to hit the railways on Wednesday. The number will
increase to 257 by the end of this year.
Numbered D460, the train left Shanghai at 5:38 a.m. and is expected to arrive
in Suzhou 39 minutes later.
Wednesday marks the the beginning of the sixth "speed boost" of Chinese
railways, which has been hard-pressed to cope with the country's hunger for
bigger transport capacity.
Chinese railway officials said last year, China fulfilled a quarter of the
world's total railway transport volume on railways accounting for only 6 percent
of the world's total length.
"The sixth speed lift will boost passenger capacity and cargo capacity by
over 18 percent and over 12 percent respectively," said Hu Yadong, vice-minister
of railways.
