China Railway NDJ3
The NDJ3 "Great Wall", previously labeled the "Harmony Great Wall" is the only higher-speed diesel multiple unit that is still operating in China. It was first designed to be used for passenger transport in the 2008 Olympics, and has become a mature technology platform with export orders to Nigeria despite initial flaws related to overheating of electrical cables in the power car. Description To fulfil the need for passenger transport between Beijing and Badaling during the 2008 Summer Olympics, the Ministry of Railways ordered four NDJ3 DMU trains, with the numbering NDJ3 0001-0004. All of them are with Beijing Bureau, Beijing sector Nanko depot, operating on Line S2 between Beijing North station and Badaling station via Yanqing station, with a later addition of another service from Beijing North to Shacheng station. These sets was the first diesel multiple units designed in China with the ability to negotiate ≥33‰ gradient and a curve of , optimised for the steeper gra ...

Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway
The Lagos–Kano Standard Gauge Railway is a -long standard gauge railway under construction in Nigeria. Once complete, the railway will connect the Atlantic Ocean port city of Lagos to Kano, near the border with Niger, passing through the national capital of Abuja. The railway replaces the Cape gauge Western Line built by the British in 1896–1927, which has a lower design capacity and is in a deteriorated condition. Two segments of the railway have been completed and begun passenger trains. The segment between Abuja and Kaduna officially opened in July 2016. The segment between Lagos and Ibadan was flagged off in June 2021. Construction After Nigeria became independent from Great Britain, the colonial-era railways progressively fell into a state of disrepair. Passenger traffic on the Nigerian railways fell from 11 million in 1964 to 1.6 million in 2003. Freight traffic almost collapsed, falling from 3 million tonnes in 1964 to less than 100,000 tonnes in 2000. In ea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Eddy Current Brake
An eddy current brake, also known as an induction brake, Faraday brake, electric brake or electric retarder, is a device used to slow or stop a moving object by generating eddy currents and thus dissipating its kinetic energy as heat. Unlike friction brakes, where the drag force that stops the moving object is provided by friction between two surfaces pressed together, the drag force in an eddy current brake is an electromagnetic force between a magnet and a nearby conductive object in relative motion, due to eddy currents induced in the conductor through electromagnetic induction. A conductive surface moving past a stationary magnet develops circular electric currents called eddy currents induced in it by the magnetic field, as described by Faraday's law of induction. By Lenz's law, the circulating currents create their own magnetic field that opposes the field of the magnet. Thus the moving conductor experiences a drag force from the magnet that opposes its motion, proport ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hexie (train)
Hexie (), also known as the CRH series EMU, is an umbrella term for the multiple unit High-speed rail, high-speed and Higher-speed rail, higher-speed trains operated by China Railway under the China Railway High-speed brand. All series of Hexie are based on foreign-developed technology and later manufactured locally in China through technology transfer licenses, with the ultimate goal of China acquiring the know-how and capability to produce high-speed rail trains. The Harmony series does not belong to any single platform, instead encompassing all high-speed trains in China with roots in foreign technology, specifically CRH1, CRH2, CRH3 and CRH5. Although later variants of Hexie such as CRH380A were designed by Chinese companies, they are still classified as CRH due to incorporation of foreign technology. History In 2007, China's Ministry of Railways (China), Ministry of Railways drafted a plan for China's future high-speed network. Bombardier Transportation, Kawasaki Heavy Ind ...

Beijing is the country's capital, while Shanghai is its most populous city by urban area and largest financial center. Considered one of six cradles of civilization, China saw the first human inhabitants in the region arriving during the Paleolithic. By the late 2nd millennium BCE, the earliest dynastic states had emerged in the Yellow River basin. The 8th–3rd centuries BCE saw a breakdown in the authority of the Zhou ...

DF11
The DF11 () is a semi-high-speed diesel-electric locomotive used on the People's Republic of China's national railway system. This locomotive was built by Qishuyan Locomotive and Rolling Stock Works. Overview The China Railways DF11 is a semi-high-speed passenger diesel-electric locomotive. It was an important scientific and technological objective of China's Eighth Five-Year Plan, and was designed for runs on the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway. The Guangzhou-Shenzhen Railway opened with an operating speed of , utilizing high-speed passenger trains and the level of potential development of a new type of high speed passenger diesel locomotive. By the end of 1990 development had begun by the Qishuyan Locomotive Works, who modified a DF9 locomotive, changing traction motor gear transmission ratio, thereby increasing the maximum speed from up to . The new locomotive was then tested to obtain the experimental data for high-speed diesel service. In 1991, the Ministry of Railway ...
