中国铁路迈向高速的初期努力和实践(1978—1992)

Initial Efforts and Practice of Chinese Railway Towards High Speed in 1978-1992

提升铁路运行速度是一代代中国铁路人的重要目标追求。改革开放后,随着邓小平访日引发的“高铁旋风”,揭开国内铁路提速的序幕和起点。随着铁路运量和运能矛盾加剧,20世纪80年代末90年代初,兴建高速铁路已成为社会关注的热点话题,中国政府开始京沪高铁建设的前期筹备和科技攻关工作,并完成首条准高速铁路的立项建设,为迈向高速提供重要经验和技术积累,孕育了中国高铁发展成功的最初基因。

Improving railway operation speed is an important goal of Chinese railway people.After the reform and opening up,the“high speed railway whirlwind”triggered by DENG Xiaoping s visit to Japan opened the prelude of domestic railway speed increase.With the intensification of contradiction between railway traffic volume and capacity,the construction of high speed railway has become a hot topic of social concern in the late 1980s and early 1990s.The Chinese government started the preliminary preparation and technological research work for Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway,and completed the project of the first quasi high speed railway in China,which has provided important technical accumulation and experience for high speed railway,giving birth to the initial gene for the success of China s high speed railway.
