A number of sightseeing trains have begun operation on a dedicated sightseeing line in Lijiang City in the Yunnan Province, China.
The Lijiang Snow Mountain Sightseeing Trains, which were developed and manufactured by CRRC Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Institute Co., Ltd, entered operation on 12 February.
The first of their kind for the city, the trains are now in operation along a 20.7km route, connecting the Old Town of Lijiang with Yulong Snow Mountain’s Scenic Area.
Designed to run at up to 70km per hour, the vehicles are equipped with articulated, independently powered bogies, allowing for accommodations along the lines tighter curves and steep gradients.
Each unit features a set of 1.9-metre colour-changeable side windows, with local Naxi art and Dongba script adorning the interior walls.
