I am delighted to announce the launch of Railway Engineering Science,an international,peer-reviewed and free open-access journal which is renamed from Journal of Modern Transportation but focused on a narrower scope,publishing original research articles and comprehensive reviews related to fundamental engineering science and emerging technologies in various rail transit systems.Rail transit is traditional while still fascinatingly new.It came into being around two centuries ago,while glowing with a new look in recent decades and still exciting in future.For example,China has built the world’s largest high-speed railway(HSR)network of over 35,000 km,more than two-thirds of the world’s total HSR mileage,by the end of 2019.More new lines are also planned and under construction.I am excited about the progress made by China that HSR network connects more than 550 cities and serves billions of people each year.
