Engineers with the railway project said the rail track built using cutting-edge technology can accommodate temperatures between 40 degrees Celsius below zero and 40 degrees Celsius above freezing. Trains will be able to run at an average of 350 km per hour on the line after safety tests are conducted. They have adopted the eight-compartment CRH380B train model built by China Northern Railways.

Those parade pants stuffed inside their boots gives the impression that they have shrunk in the wash.Originally Posted by bd popeye

You mean the rifle drill team? I tried out for it, but couldn't cut it. It's very tough to make it. Those who did, are as sharp as ever. I also like to watch other countries drill team as well.
