Chinese hostesses welcome passengers on the platform before a “Fuxing” high-speed bullet train on the Beijing-Shanghai Railway (Jinghu Railway) leaves the Beijing South Railway Station for the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station in Beijing, China on September 21, 2017. Fuxing, China's newest high-speed bullet trains were officially launched between Beijing and Shanghai on Thursday (21 September 2017), at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The Fuxing bullet trains were unveiled on June 25 and are capable of a top speed of 400 km/h. The Fuxing has a monitoring system that slows the train in case of emergency or abnormal conditions. Telemetry allows a control center to monitor the train in real time. The Fuxing, which means “rejuvenation”, is a substantial upgrade on the Hexie, which means “harmony”. The Fuxing is more spacious and energy-efficient, with a longer life expectancy and better reliability. (Photo by Imaginechina/Rex Features/Shutterstock)
