This world’s most advanced train passes through the foot of Badaling Great Wall and runs side by side with Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway more than 100 years ago.
A century’s span, two Beijing-Zhangjiakou lines, witnessed the course of Chinese from designing and building its first "road to success" to becoming a "pioneer" in opening intelligent high-speed rail.
As a symbol, China’s high-speed rail mileage has exceeded 35,000 kilometers, and the Chinese nation has built new glory on the great journey of national rejuvenation.

A century’s leap to achieve "the country of high-speed rail"
There is a bronze statue of Zhan Tianyou at the foot of the Great Wall and next to Qinglong Bridge Station surrounded by green hills in Yanqing District, Beijing.
As the founder of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, he looks far away, and his profound eyes seem to have penetrated the great changes of a century … …
In 1905, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway started construction. Badaling tunnel with a total length of 1091 meters is the key project of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. At that time, there was not a trunk railway designed, built and operated independently by Chinese people in our country. Foreign engineers boasted that the engineer who could repair the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway in China had not yet been born!
Zhan Tianyou, who returned from studying abroad, broke this argument. He applied the herringbone railway used for logging in South America to the trunk railway in China for the first time. By extending the distance, he successfully passed the 33 rd & Permil; The steep slope shortens the Badaling tunnel, which originally needed to be excavated for more than 1,800 meters, to 1,091 meters.

Today, the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway passes under it. Yang Cunxin, the stationmaster of Qinglongqiao Station, said that this is a "handshake" between the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway and the old Beijing-Zhangjia railway, which symbolizes the development speed of China, and has achieved the three-dimensional intersection of Beijing and Zhangjiakou in the past century.
"In ‘ Zhan Tianyou ’ When you work under your feet, you must do a fine job. " Jiang Si, project manager of Beijing-Zhangjia High-speed Railway of the Fourth Company of China Railway Fifth Bureau Group, said.
Badaling Great Wall Station, which he is in charge of, is the only underground station of Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway, and it is also the largest underground station of high-speed railway in the world at present. When the project is repaired to the bottom of Qinglong Bridge Station, it is only 4 meters away from the ground, and it is necessary to ensure the normal running of the train above.
After a century’s leap, the railway construction in China has experienced the internal combustion engine era and the electrical era from age of steam in Zhan Tianyou, and quickly entered the high-speed rail era.
More than 100 years ago, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was the first section of beijing-baotou railway. From Baotou to Beijing by train, the train has to walk slowly for one night to get to Qinglong Bridge Station, and it will take half a day to get to Beijing after changing the front of the train here.
"After the opening of the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway, the Zhanghu high-speed railway will be opened to traffic simultaneously with the Dazhang high-speed railway, and it only takes more than an hour to take the high-speed railway from Zhangjiakou to Beijing. After the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway is connected with Zhanghu high-speed railway and Dazhang high-speed railway, the Inner Mongolia prairie will be realized in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. One-day tour ’ 。” Huang Xin, director of the passenger transport department of China National Railway Group Co., Ltd. said.
The more the road network is woven, the more convenient the trip is. In December 2019, more than 10 railways including Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway were intensively opened.
China seems to be "small" — — The formation of the "meter" railway network in Henan, the ring-shaped high-speed railway in Shandong, the through train in Jiangxi, and the continuous extension of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway main channel in China … …
People’s dreams have become bigger — — High-speed rail is vertical and horizontal, "say and go", and the travel radius of the people extends with the expansion of the "high-speed rail economic circle".
"More than one hundred years ago, my great-grandfather built the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway. Today, I personally took the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed rail. I believe that if his old man is alive in heaven, he will be as proud and proud of the achievements of the country and the nation as I am. " Zhan Tianyou’s granddaughter Zhan Xin told reporters.

Leading by innovation, creating a "road of wisdom"
"Smart" is the most beautiful label of Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway.
The "Fuxing" intelligent EMU running on the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway can drive by itself.
"The train has added ATO-related equipment for automatic operation control, realizing automatic driving with people on duty in the whole process, redefining the operation mode of the train." Zhang Bo, deputy director and researcher of the Locomotive and Rolling Stock Institute of the Academy of Iron and Steel Sciences, said.
According to the precise operation plan pre-planned by the ground dispatching center, the "Fuxing" intelligent EMU can automatically control the departure, acceleration, deceleration and parking. During the whole traveling process, the intelligent train safety monitoring system carried by the EMU has more than 2,000 monitoring points, which comprehensively monitors the state of the EMU in real time, and realizes self-perception of working state, self-diagnosis of running faults and self-decision of guiding safety.

In the past century, from the steam locomotives of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, to diesel locomotives, to electric locomotives, and then to the Harmony and Fuxing EMUs, the changes of locomotives and trains reflect the increasing scientific and technological innovation strength of China.
Zhang Bo said that the "Fuxing" intelligent EMU was developed on the basis of the "Fuxing" with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. In the design, it is considered that it is necessary to adapt to the line conditions of Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed railway and meet the service needs of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
At the bottom of the "Fuxing" intelligent EMU, there are two square boxes about 9 square meters. They are energy storage battery packs, which are usually charged by vehicles when running. When the catenary has power failure, they provide power for vehicles to ensure smooth arrival at the nearest station.
"Fuxing" intelligent EMU has superior aerodynamic performance and beautiful appearance. In terms of humanized service, intelligent environment awareness adjustment technology has been added, which can realize the adjustment of temperature, lighting and window color, and further improve the ride comfort. The whole vehicle is covered by wifi and equipped with a multilingual passenger information system, which can meet the needs of international passengers. The seat is installed in a slide way, allowing more wheelchairs to be added.
"Some carriages also add ski equipment storage cabinets for skiers to store snowboards and other equipment. The ski equipment lock identified by QR code is convenient and safe. " He said.
As the first intelligent high-speed rail in China, the quality supervision, supply, profile design and polishing of each rail of Beijing-Zhangjiakou high-speed rail also used big data and established a "health file".
According to the technical director of China Railway Materials Group, in the rail production process, they set up a data file for each rail. After the high-speed rail is put into operation, the "healthy" state of the whole rail line can be grasped by analyzing and studying the data, and the rail life cycle management can be realized.
Fan Yijiang, deputy director of the Comprehensive Research Office of the Comprehensive Transportation Research Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in the past 10 years, the changes in China’s high-speed rail have amazed the world. From a series of Harmony motor trains flying across the country to Fuxing leading the world standards, China high-speed railway has continuously created remarkable achievements.

Work hard and realize dreams, paving the way for "revival"
In 2022, Beijing Winter Olympics, visitors from all over the world will be able to take the Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed rail.
A hundred years ago, Zhan Tianyou wrote that "it is a shame to steal that our country is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, but we have to rely on outsiders for our work along the way", and encouraged ourselves to lead the Chinese people in designing and building railways. However, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has not completely got rid of the fate of "relying on foreigners".
At that time, there was hardly any manufacturing industry in China, so it was impossible to produce the relevant equipment needed by the railway.
"Although the design and construction of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was completed by Chinese, all parts of the railway, even every nail, were imported from abroad." Gu Lin, secretary of the transfer workshop branch of Tangshan South Railway Station, said.
"Engineers are beneficial to the skills of the country. They should learn from each other and know everything, so that the country will be rich and strong, free from foreign aggression, and stand on its own feet on the earth." This was Zhan Tianyou’s profound understanding of building a road power 110 years ago, and it was also the cry of all Chinese at that time. The railway spirit of learning from each other and pursuing excellent products has since led generations of railway people to embark on the road of building dreams.
A hundred years later, China Railway has already entered the era of autonomy. Based on Beidou satellite and GIS technology, the designer deployed a "positioning" large network in Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway, which can provide intelligent services for the whole process of construction, operation, dispatching, maintenance and emergency by using the high-precision map of the railway.
"In the future, there will be the same ‘ Brain ’ 。” Hong Xia Li, the overall person in charge of intelligent engineering design of Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway designed by China Railway, said that through this brain, the staff can manage the lighting, temperature, humidity and other equipment in the control room, and conduct emergency command.

A century-old Beijing-Zhangjia bears Chinese’s dream of rejuvenation and the feeling of strengthening the country. The reconstruction of Beijing-Zhangjiakou is erecting another monument to railway power and national rejuvenation.
On the "report card" of the Institute of Iron Science, there is a sentence: Among the 254 important standards adopted by Fuxing, China standard accounts for 84%, and the overall design and key technologies are all independently developed, with completely independent intellectual property rights.
Relying on the construction of Jing-Zhang high-speed railway, China will further form a demonstration scheme of intelligent high-speed railway application, build a technical standard system of intelligent high-speed railway, and become a world-leading intelligent high-speed railway application country.
"The Beijing-Zhangjia high-speed railway has attracted worldwide attention, but this is not a miracle created by builders. It was a great era and the development of the motherland that created this miracle. " Lv Gang, deputy chief designer of Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway Project designed by China Railway, said.
