The Lanzhou Xinjiang railway line ran its first tests yesterday morning, marking the countdown to Xinjiang’s first high speed railway.
The journey took 9 hours from Xinjiang to Lanzhou, nearly half the original journey length of 16 hours. When the line officially opens it’s expected to cut the travel time across country from Beijing to Urumqi by about half, for those of you who are tough enough to brave the epic train journey.

And it'll only be a matter of time before some Uyghur nutters decide to blow the tracks as a train approaches.
