The Train D8003 left the Harbin Railway Station in Harbin, the capital of Heilongjiang province, at 11:05 am on Monday for Yabuli West Station, marking the launch of the dedicated railway line for the 9th Asian Winter Games.

China Railway Harbin Group has formulated a designated transportation plan for the event, which will be held from Feb 7 to 14, adding six high-speed trains from Harbin to Yabuli West Station and six regular trains from Harbin to Yabuli South Station.

At the same time, the group arranged up to 51 high-speed trains stopping at Yabuli West Station, with a minimum interval of seven minutes between the trains connecting the competition areas and a travel time as short as about one hour and 2 minutes.

Additionally, to facilitate the travel for athletes, event staff and media reporters, the group has set up special ticket windows and dedicated waiting areas at designated stations such as Harbin Railway Station, Harbin West Station and Yabuli West Station.

A team of one hundred dedicated service personnel have assembled and undergone comprehensive professional training to enhance their service capabilities.

The dedicated railway line chose new high-altitude Fuxing intelligent technology-enhanced electrical units, which have made breakthroughs and improvements in intelligence and user-friendliness, providing a more comfortable travel experience.
