Ice train begins trial operations
Railway built to withstand extreme cold prepares to welcome travelers
A high-speed railway linking major cities in Northeast China began trial operations on Monday, ahead of its launch at the end of the year.
The new line, which links Dalian, a port city in Liaoning province and Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province, is the world's first high-speed railway built to withstand extreme cold weather conditions, according to a statement by Harbin railway authorities.
