### Steam Store Description
The breathtakingly fast CRH380A comes to Train Simulator for authentic and
blinding Chinese high-speed action courtesy of Partner Programme developer
Just Trains.
Following the introduction of passenger-dedicated high-speed railways
throughout China in 2007, several iterations of modern-age multiple units have
been manufactured to take full advantage of the growing network. Earlier
models, such as the CRH380D and CRH380B, were derived directly from foreign
technologies developed by the likes of Bombardier and Siemens; however, it was
the intention to also utilise foreign components and build entirely unique
high-speed stock, and by 2010, such a feat had been achieved.
The CRH380A, built by CSR Qingdao Sifang, was designed as a cutting-edge high-
speed EMU that could easily achieve the typical, yet outstanding, 350 and 380
km/h speed limits. In testing, it achieved even higher speeds, with a 16-car
variant exceeding 486 km/h, over 300mph! Being one of the fastest conventional
trains in the world, the CRH380 was set to propel the millions upon millions
of passengers that traverse China by high-speed rail every year.
Like the Shinkansen Series of Japan or the TGV Series of France, the CRH380A’s
distinct streamlined nose is a formidable sight and paramount for attaining
such high speeds. The sleek profile, combined with powerful traction
equipment, required vibration and pressurisation systems and reliable high-
speed bogies, allow for a unit which can do 0-380 in a mere 7 minutes, a
fantastic achievement for rail traction. Of course, such speeds also require
powerful and efficient brakes, and the CRH380 is fitted with top-of-the-range
gear.
Boasting high capacity, and high speed, the CRH380A from Just Trains is the
pinnacle of modern tractive technology, and serves the Southwest China High
Speed Network route (available separately and required to play these
scenarios) with pride.
