The difference between train and high-speed rail

Different speeds, different traveling tracks and different driving principles.

1, the speed is different, the speed of high-speed rail is usually faster than that of train, and the maximum speed of high-speed rail can reach 350 kilometers per hour, while the maximum speed of ordinary train is usually between 160 kilometers per hour and 200 kilometers per hour.

2. Different traveling tracks, high-speed rail usually travels on newly-built special tracks, which have better smooth performance and ballast-free tracks, and are usually built on elevated bridges, while ordinary trains mostly travel on ballasted tracks.

3, the driving principle is different, the power of high-speed rail and moving train is dispersed in multiple carriages, that is, the combination of moving train and trailer, which does not need to rely solely on the driving of the head, thus can quickly improve the running speed, while the traditional train mainly relies on the driving of the locomotive.
