Recently, a new customized tourist train rolled off the production line in Qingdao, Shandong province. Developed by CRRC Sifang and China Railway Zhengzhou Group in Henan province, the train is themed around the Yellow River and will connect scenic destinations in Henan, including Luoyang, Anyang, and Sanmenxia.
The train adopts the style design of electric multiple units and provides hotel-like accommodations in terms of infrastructure, cabin layout, sanitation facilities, and special accessibility. Designed for comfort, particularly for elderly passengers, the train includes safety features such as fluorescent handrails, anti-slip flooring, and stepladders. A dedicated medical area is equipped with emergency supplies and senior care items.
The train consists of 14 soft sleeper cars with double, triple, and quadruple bed compartments, a dining car, a multifunctional car, and a personnel car. Each compartment has an independent dry-wet-separation bathroom with a temperature-regulated toilet, anti-pinch door handles, and an SOS emergency call system.
Inspired by the Yellow River, the train's exterior features wavelike patterns flowing dynamically along its body. Inside, the train's decor incorporates cultural elements from Henan's heritage, creating a mobile exhibition of the province's history.
The train will be launched in mid-April and will bring a new travel experience to passengers.
