Passengers queue to board a train at Beijing Railway Station February 4, 2007. China's railway system is expected to carry some 155 million people over the upcoming Chinese New Year period, the most ever, as people flood home for the traditional festival, a senior official said. That record number -- equivalent to more than the entire population of Russia -- could be attributed to the government's decision not to raise ticket prices as it normally would over the holiday, said railway ministry spokesman Wang Yongping.
