China Railways

China Railways, also known as CR for short, is China's state owned rail monopoly responsible for creating the Pan-Asian High Speed Rail System in the 2020s linking the Eurasian landmass via high speed rail.
==History==
===2000-2020===
China Railways borrowed ideas and technology from German multinational giant Siemens to become a major player in the construction and operation of high speed railways. China Railways often used German manufactured Valero high speed train cars on its high speed tracks.
By 2020, CR had linked every major city in mainland China through 220+ mph high speed rail. Although many lines would not become profitable for years, China had much of the transportation infrastructure in place to become a developed nation.
===2021-2030===
During the 2020s, CR completed the Pan-Asian High Speed Rail System as part of the New Silk Road Project by constructing HSR lines from People's Republic of China to Korea, South East Asia, India, the Middle East and Europe. The last project involved converting the entire Trans-Siberian Railroad to high speed rail by the early 2020s. This linked all these regions into a Eurasia wide trade network.
By 2030, CR had completed its first intercity maglev line between Beijing and Tianjin providing even faster speeds of 400+ mph between cities.
===2031-2040===
CR initiated a massive expansion of maglev train infrastructure in People's Republic of China in the 2030s. In 2033, CR helped create the Bohai Economic Rim, a single economic area with a population of over 300 million people, by extending the maglev line between Beijing and Tianjin around the rim of the Bohai Sea through the Bohai Tunnel between the cities of Dalian in Liaoning Province and Yantai in Shandong Province. Networks of maglev trains also linked cities within China's two other main economic regions, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta, creating a single city effect in areas stretching for hundreds of miles encompassing hundreds of millions of people. The South China Megacity already united most of the large cities in the later region into the largest megacity on Earth with a population of well over 100 million people by the 2030s. 
By 2035, China perfected evacuated tube transport before the Germans and Americans who were working on similar technology. This technology accelerated maglev trains to speeds of over 1000 mph via electromagnetic propulsion by sucking the air out of tubes and creating a vacuum in which high speed trains could travel at hypersonic speeds. CR completed an evacuated tube transport line between Beijing and Moscow in 2036, making it possible to travel between the Chinese and Russian capitals in well under a day. Extensions of this system reached Berlin, Paris, London, Shanghai, the South China Megacity, Singapore, Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Seoul by 2040, making it possible to travel from one end of Eurasia to another in a day by maglev train.
