Haolebaoji-Ji'an Line
[edit]Source: http://www.china-railway.com.cn/zyyw/tljs/gcjj/201901/t20190123_92379.html
According to this source, the Haolebaoji-Ji'an Line(Chinese:浩吉铁路), also called Western (Inner) Mongolia-Central China Line(Chinese:蒙西华中铁路) opened Sep 28(http://www.china-railway.com.cn/xwzx/ywsl/201910/t20191011_96759.html)
Unusual for a freight-only line its Jingzhou(or Jinmen?)-Yueyang section has a designated speed of 200km/h (other sections 120km/h). Since the article require newly built line to be >=250km/h this line probably doesn't belong here but then someone may consider mentioning it in Higher-speed rail or Rail freight transport. It make my head explode that there are freight-only lines faster than some CRH intercity lines(160km/h). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ibicdlcod (talk • contribs) 18:37, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
History section divided by countries?
[edit]The history section (at least for recent history) seems to be a collection of sections on each country. I think it would be more helpful to have a single history across countries to have a general idea of developments of HSR across time. As it is, this is just a repetition of the HSR history in each country's article, which is not really useful Ita140188 (talk) 10:32, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
What speed is high-speed?
[edit]High-speed rails are considered to have speed above 250 km/h for new lines (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed_rail). Therefore, all lines with speed 250 km/h and below should be excluded from this article “High-speed rail”.

Acela
[edit]Is Acela an high speed rail? Or it's by definition.
