(MENAFN- Wadsam) A bullet freight train with a maximum operational speed of
350 km per hour is delivered by CRRC Tangshan Co., Ltd. in Tangshan, north
China's Hebei Province on Dec. 23, 2020.
According to Xinhua news, it is the first freight train in
the world to reach the 350 km/h speed threshold, according to the company.
The train is equipped with 2.9-meter-wide loading doors to
