[Explanation] On August 9, China's first permanent magnet maglev rail transit system engineering test line - "Red Rail" was successfully completed in Xingguo County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province.
That morning, a red and white maglev train with "Xingguo" printed on both sides of the front of the train slowly departed from the starting station. Representatives from government, enterprise, academia and research including Gan Yong, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, participated in the first ride. Test ride experience.
In his speech at the completion ceremony on the same day, Gan Yong pointed out that the "red rail" system will effectively enrich the new system of urban and tourist rail transit, and provide a new choice and new carrier for rail transit.

Today, we are here to witness with you the completion of the construction of the "Red Rail" project demonstration line of Xingguo, which indicates that the Red Rail technical team will become a pioneer in the scientific research and engineering of the world's permanent magnet suspension rail transit system.
The technical innovation of the overall team has made significant progress, which will effectively enrich the new system of urban and tourist rail transit, and provide a new choice and new carrier in rail transit.
[Explanation] It is understood that the research and development of the "Red Track" system took nine years, led by Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, and completed with Xingguo County People's Government, China Railway Sixth Institute, China Railway Industry, National Rare Earth Functional Materials Innovation Center and other units.
According to Yang Bin, chief expert of "Red Track" technology and Secretary of the Party Committee of Jiangxi University of Science and Technology, "Red Track" covers many strategic emerging industries such as new materials, rail transit, artificial intelligence, etc., and has broad prospects for future development. .

The school will take the "Red Track" completion ceremony as a new starting point, focus on the development needs of rare earth and rail transit industries, carry out major technical research, continue to deepen the integration of production and education, and the integration of schools and places, and is determined to contribute to the transformation and upgrading of industry development and regional economic and social development. make new and greater contributions.
[Explanation] The test line built this time starts from Yongfeng Station in the south. The main line of the line is about 800 meters long, all of which are steel structure elevated lines.
The maglev train is composed of 2 cars, with 32 seats and a capacity of 88 people. The maximum design running speed is 80km/h.
