In China’s Hunan Province, this train also allows vegetable baskets—and even sheep, chickens, and ducks—on board. It’s like a moving market on the rails. The ticket price is very low, from ¥2 to ¥12, and has remained unchanged for 50 years. Some people argue that the train is outdated,...

The chinese government really takes care of its people, not just the rich but the poor as well. Its practices are unusual but righteous.

Think of it as a caring policy of the Chinese government and people, who sympathize with people in the country who are less fortunate than those in the country.

Even if the pigs and sheep stop coming they should keep this train. It's historic and also can become a tourist thing in the future.

OMG 😂 I traveled in those green trains 20-25 years ago. About 33 hours from Hangzhou to Xi'An in those days, and you made all kinds of friends in the trip. People shared fruits and 瓜子 with you and invited you to play cards for hours.

How China washes its High Speed Trains everyday. They all shines as if brand new. High-speed trains are treated with the same care as luxury cars: they even have automated washing lines. A whole train can be cleaned in minutes. The wash stations are hidden inside the maintenance yards, and once a train rolls in at night, sensors activate the system automatically as it glides forward at just a few kilometers per hour. First comes the high-pressure rinse. Then a layer of neutral cleaning solution. No brushes, no blind spots, no scraping—everything is done with precision. A final cascade of clean water brings back the glossy finish. The entire process can be completed in five minutes. It isn’t just about looking good. A clean, polished surface reduces air resistance, improves energy efficiency, and even the wastewater is recycled. It’s an industrial choreography built for both beauty and engineering logic. Now compare this to the United States. While China washes its high-speed trains every night, keeping them sleek, spotless, and aerodynamic, America still relies on Amtrak’s aging fleet—trains that crawl along antique tracks, often slower than cars, and long overdue for modernization. Many Amtrak trains run on century-old bridges and tunnels, with speeds capped not by engineering ambition but by outdated infrastructure. Cleanliness varies, maintenance is patchwork, and the idea of a dedicated automated wash line feels like science fiction.
