In the course of the planned modernisation of the Railway system until the year 2020, the People’s Republic of China presses ahead with the construction of new high speed railway tracks for passenger transportation. One of the first tracks is the connection between Beijing and the upcoming city of Tianjin, south-east of the capital. This railway track with a total length of 115 km is planned to go into service before the start of the Olympic Games 2008.
