Why did China Railway paint all ordinary speed trains green?

The official explanation is that it is for military safety. The colors of green trains and vegetation look hard to distinguish, so they can be well hidden, and satellites in the sky are hard to find, let alone be tracked.

It is the memory of the times, and it is also the weapon of national defense.

The green leather carriage is the memory of an era, but I think many people vaguely remember that in the past, besides the green leather train, there were many red trains speeding on the railway, but now it is very rare. There are only white high-speed trains and green trains. Why should all the ordinary trains be painted green? The official explanation is that it is for the sake of military security. In the past, green trains were generally used to transport food or soldiers to travel. Because green is the same color as plants, it is difficult for foreign satellites to find out, and it is impossible to judge some tracks of our country according to the train's trajectory.

It is worth noting that the missile transport train in China is also green, so we paint the express train green, which also has a considerable camouflage effect in appearance. When tens of thousands of green trains are running all over the country, the real missile transport train can play a good cover role.

The colors are easy to distinguish and manage.

At present, all the 16km/h ordinary speed trains are painted green, and only white and green cars are running on the railway. Green generally represents the army, so most of China's railways are semi-militarized. Painting green is not only low-cost, but also can better protect national security, which is the need of combat readiness. Personally, I think that in addition to national defense security, it is also an era of * * * to paint green.

In the past, green was the theme color of that era. Now we can see that green leather trains have a very strong sense of the times. In addition, green is also a symbol of environmental protection. The color looks solemn and simple, and it also makes people feel relaxed and comfortable visually. It is convenient to distinguish and manage when painted green. With high-speed bullet trains, ordinary trains can be incorporated into low-speed trains, so there is no need to make more detailed distinctions to manage with colors, and resources can be saved.

the Soviet train is the earliest prototype of the express train.

In the future, the main line of passenger transport will be shared by the high-speed train on the passenger dedicated line, and the green iron carriages will be mainly responsible for mountain areas, commuting, small stations and other routes that are not suitable for the operation of the train and some specific tourist routes.

In fact, most of the earliest train design and research and development were based on the design of Soviet trains, so many train elements were inherited from the Soviet Union, such as the initial green painting and yellow waistline. Railway transportation is a very important part of China's traditional transportation, which is mainly used to transport bulk goods and long-distance people. At present, with the popularization of high-speed rail and bullet trains, the express train is gradually about to withdraw from the stage of history.
