A railway linking Chongqing and Yibin, two cities in southwest China, has started joint debugging and test runs. The railway is a section of a high-speed railway linking Chongqing and Kunming, capital of southwest China's Yunnan Province. With a designed speed of 350 kilometers per hour, the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway is a key constituent of the railway corridor linking China's capital Beijing and Kunming. (Xinhua/Tang Yi)

        STORY: Futuristic mobility at high-speed maglev research center in N China SHOOTING TIME: Recent footage DATELINE: June 7, 2024 LENGTH: 00:01:08 LOCATION: DATONG, China CATEGORY: TECHNOLOGY SHOTLIST: 1. various of the test base 2. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief designer at ultra-high-speed maglev test base STORYLINE: At a test base in Yanggao County, north China's Shanxi Province, researchers have been in pursuit of a futuristic means of transportation. The ultra-high-speed maglev train under development here is a new transportation system that adopts magnetic levitation technology and uses low-vacuum tubes to travel at an ultra-high speed. Equipped with technologies from both aerospace and rail travel, this maglev line is aiming for speeds of up to 1,000 kilometers per hour. A group of young engineers embarked on the project in 2021. This January, the maglev line achieved stable levitation with a speed of 150 kilometers per hour on a 1.2-kilometer test line. SOUNDBITE (Chinese): MAO KAI, Chief d
