  • The CRH380A is one of the fastest passenger trains in the world. I put that to the test in this video by performing a test run to see if we can reach 442km/h !

    CRH380 testing train did 483kph on testing, which is just over 300mph. For safety reason it now operates at 305kph/190mph on Chinese network and only on high speed tracks. And it's the major workhorse on the mainlines.

      Only the longer 16 car train reached the 486.1 km/h (302 mp) max speed, the 8 car unit reached "just" 416.6 km/h (259 mph). Since then the operation speed is again 350 km/h (217 mph) but as their name suggest, they designed to operate at 380 km/h (236 mph).

    Stood once on the platform when the CRH passing by, it was like a flying sword! It did slow down to 200KM/h to pass the platform but it still feels like everything (including my luggage) was about to been sucking into the vacuum it created behind it.

    The first time I took a high speed train from Beijing to Shandong province in 2011, the train did 350 km/h (speed is now limited to just over 300 km/h). The sound produced by the train was monstrous, and it felt like 350 km/h was just peanuts for it.

      I watched a documentary about fast trains, and they said it was almost pointless having a windscreen, as you're going so fast you can't react to anything you can see with your own eyes anyway, may as well just 'fly' with the instruments and pull a blind down over the glass.

    The funny thing is that the Chinese trains don't actually feel that fast, not at 300km/h at least which is as fast as I've been. It's an incredibly smooth ride and you don't get the sensation of the speed you're doing. It's kind of like doing 70mph in a 25 year old car and then doing it in a brand new tourer, without the rattles and bumpy ride it doesn't feel anywhere near as fast.

    • @ZuAux

    About your arguement of automation. Back in the '90s, when the Cisalpino was a revolutionary and new train design, meant to lean in turns so it could travel faster than conventional trains, also came with a lot of automation. Once we sat in Bellinzona for 45 minutes, because an automated door would not close, and had no manual override, so the train would not start. Eventually the SBB slapped together a conventional train to replace the malfunctioning Cisalpino, and take us to Zürich. I avoided Cisalpino since, also because it made me motion sick.

    the develop starts from June 2010 and the project is named CIT400A, on February 23, 2011, the CRH400A-001 arrives at CARS, after a series of modify and rectify, the Trainset is set to enter service at March 3, the trainset will do a lot of inspection work at the Beijing to Shanghai PDL.

    The reason for the high viaducts is:
    The standings are preproduced in factories and are brought as a piece to their place. So it's not so difficult to built it. Just much logistics. And it's still cheaper than all the ground work they would have to do, when they would built the track flat on the earth. And even the high is reasonable: It's a bit higher than the average mountain size of this area, so they only need to built tunnels on rare occasion. In Germany when they built the HSR, they didn't built them so high... so they had to build long tunnels between the river viaducts. And tunnel building is much more expensive than a viaduct.

    Those bridges are actually designed to minimized land acquisition cost, and to keep the track level that's why they're everywhere in china. Also they actually designed a system in which they could construct and assemble the bridge really really quickly, that's why in a matter of 10-ish years china already have more HSR length tracks than everywhere else in the world combine. It's a pretty cool story actually. The trains are obviously a combination of various foreign transfer of technology acquisition, but they really did grow into their own system, probably not as bullet proof or as reliable as Shinkansen yet, but man they are growing real fast.

    Hi, Squirrel, nice videos in your channel. I am a railway fan from china, so let me introduce more about this train. Yes it is a CRH380A, but not a normal one, it is a CRH380AJ(formal name CIT 400, CIT for Comprehensive Inspection Train), used to inspect the track before commercial running. That is the reason it is in a yellow livery(cuz all CIT trains in china are painted in yellow), so it also called yellow doctor. It can reach a top speed of 486.1 kph. And for normal CRH380A trains, commercial speed is 350 kph maximum.
    Also, CRH means china railway high-speed.
    Hope i explained enough, have fun~

    About the sense of speed: Even when I watch cab ride videos of trains like the TGV, I never ever get the sense that it's going that insanely fast (300 Km/h). The same thing goes for these tram-trains we've got in northern Portugal (in which I travel almost every single day), because they go up to 90/100 Km/h, and, when they do, it really doesn't feel like that.
    When I'm in a car, however, and it goes past 100 Km/h, then it does sort of feel that it's going relatively fast.
    Anybody's got an explanation for this?

    • @thetechnocrat4979
      @thetechnocrat4979 6 лет назад

      Avenged Fate It must be because of the sheer size of the trains that make them look slow, even if they are rocketing away at 300+ km/h. This is just a guess, so don't depend on this answer.

      Quality control on rails is easier than roads. Even if the ride is smooth, the small imperfections produces a lot of vibrations to the car.

    • @papaquonis
      @papaquonis 7 лет назад +3

      As an actual train driver, I can tell you this does happen occasionally in real life as well, at least it happens where I work. Some railroad switches are obviously used more often than others, so we send a train through each one of the less used switches a few times a day to make sure all the switches actually remain operable. Otherwise they may simply get stuck or they break in some manner, and you might not even know about it, until it is needed. We call it "rust driving" (loosely translated to english), because we're making sure they don't rust completely.
      Now I obviously don't know if that's what they're trying to simulate in the game, but it's certainly a possiblity.

    For HIGH-SPEED Rails those viaducts are actually cheaper to build than building it on the ground, where you need to level the ground so perfectly for it to run at 300.
    I had ridden that train IRL, it runs quite well on the dedicated high speed train, but for parts of journey it only runs at 180-200km/h due to sharing track with regular trainsets. Can't say anything about the horn thought... they never used it during my 10 hour journey, not even when entering/exiting tunnels...

    Nice video!! Currently, the Chinese government limits the speed of this thing to 300km/h. I once stood on a platform when my train was on the stop and the neighbouring rail(the opposite side of my train) had another train passing by and NOT STOPPING. It was passing the station with the speed of 300km/h!!! So it was in the evening. I heard the horn and saw a light approaching. When it reaches me, I felt the platform was shaking and the noise was a bit loud. But everything just happened in 2 seconds and back to normal. Oh and they build the whole system on the bridge for safety reason. If this thing is travelling at that speed on the ground, any rock, animal or someone throwing garbage could be deadly. Also to protect the soil. Even some stations in the middle are on the bridge!

  • @jasmienkomugi9026
    @jasmienkomugi9026 4 года назад

    I think the reason for the high horn has to do with... well not sure what its called and not sure if its 100% true but basically what I often heard is that the horn is high as it can be lounder without much effort and it can be heard from far while a low horn has needs more power to be loud and cant be heard from that far away if it isnt made incredibley loud. Atleast thats what I once heard.

      Not anymore. The speed limit was only lowered during the time of the inspection, why it happened. They raised the speed to 380 again. And the both trains only run at 100 km/h, it was not the reason, the reason was a signalling error.
