A high-speed train enters Beijing railway station April 18, 2007. High-speed trains with a speed of 200km per hour or more will hit Chinese railways on Wednesday, marking the start of the system's sixth "speed boost", which has been hard pressed to cope with an increased demand for a bigger transport capacity, Xinhua News Agency reported.
