abstract
| - The Trans-Asia Rail Line is a high-speed rail line currently operating, connecting Seogyeong, Beijing, Shanghai and Saigon. Limited service is currently operating, using high-speed trainsets from Seogyeong to Nanning, and switching to diesel-electric locomotives to Saigon. Double-tracking to high-speed standards and electrification of the entire route is currently underway to allow high-speed service for the entire route. The north terminal in Seogyeong is New Seogyeong Station, with a stop at Sinuiju. Major stops in the Peoples Republics of China are Beijing, Zhengzhou, Guilin, and Nanning. Crossing into Vietnam, the line has an all-stop at Hanoi, and crosses into Yarphei, with its south terminal at Saigon. Limited services branch from Zhengzhou to Guangzhou. A third of services originating in Seogyeong travel through Tianjin to Shanghai, a branch opened in June 2011. The service is operated by Series 24000 TGV trainsets manufactured by Alstom and 500 Series Shinkansen trainsets manufactured by Hitachi and Kinki Sharyo trains which run at up to 300 kilometres per hour (186 mph) on a network of high-speed lines. The New Main Line in the East Asian Federation opened before Trans-Asia services began in 2010, and lines enabling higher speeds throughout the network are currently under construction in China, Vietnam, and Yarphei.
