Abstract: The construction and operation of high-speed rail (HSR) grid within the past two decades in China, in terms of the scale, may be possibly comparable to any national-wide construction in the history of China, even the Great Wall. By counting railways with commercial train service at the speed of 200 km/h, China has the world’s longest HSR network with over 19 369.8 km of track in service today and this number is still increasing. The broad interests in HSR transportation originates from the currently global pressure to reduce CO2 emission, as addressed in the Climate Conference in Copenhagen in 2009 and up-to-date research. Unlike old fashioned trains with huge steam locomotive, high-speed trains are powered by electricity other than fossil energies with high CO2 emission. For most green energy sources including nuclear energy, solar energy, wind energy, and hydro-energy, their direct and efficient output is electricity. HSR hence supplies a desired solution for urgent green transportation development. While the unprecedented project is facing both praise and critics by different groups from distinct perspectives, researchers and engineers have to focus their attention on understanding the HSR system better to ensure the safety, to lower the cost of maintenance, to enhance comfort, and to make it a greener transportation.
