SHANGHAI/HANGZHOU, Oct. 26 (Xinhua) -- High-speed trains began traveling between the eastern Chinese cities of Shanghai and Hangzhou Tuesday morning, the latest milestone in China's effort to build the world's fastest rail network. Two bullet trains equipped with China's CRH380A system simultaneously took off at 9:00 a.m. Tuesday from Shanghai's Hongqiao Station and from Hangzhou Station. Trains on the line will travel at an average speed of 350 kilometers per hour, shortening the trip between to 45 minutes from 78 minutes. After 20 months of construction, the 202-km high-speed railway linking Shanghai, China's economic hub, and Hangzhou, capital of east China's Zhejiang Province, extends the nation's in-service high-speed rail network to 7,431 kilometers. Earlier last month, the Shanghai-Hangzhou high-speed line stunned the world when in a trial run, a train hit a speed of 416.6 kilometers per hour, a world train speed record. news.xinhuanet.com == FedEx Inaugurates New Solar-Powered Hub at Cologne Bonn Airport The hub in Cologne is one of the most modern FedEx hubs in the world.
