China railways CIT trains
Encyclopedia
China Railways CIT trains refers to high-speed test trains that are used on the Chinese High Speed railways, CIT means Comprehensive Inspection Train. usually ordered by Chinese Ministry of Rail (MOR) or China Academy of Railway Sciences (CARS).
The trains equipped with special devices to monitor the condition of the track, wheel-rail force, Catenary, Pantograph, communication system and signal system, sometimes the trains are used for speed test.
Basically the built of these trainsets are based on their original commercial designs, like the CIT001 (based on CRH5) and CIT400A (based on CRH380A), the CIT380A trainset was converted from the prototype of CRH380A (CRH2-150C), while some of the trainset was re-equipping of commercial trains, which are not designated as CIT trains by names with nomal series numbers instead.
The CIT001 was ordered by China Academy of Railway Sciences On April 2, 2007, and was co-designed by CARS and CNR. the official name is Code Zero Comprehensive Inspection Train. The train is painted with yellow and white color and started test run on July 1, 2007. came into service on June 6, 2008.
