Shanghai-Nanjing railway to see electric trains

A train powered by a diesel internal combustion engine on the railroad between Shanghai and Nanjing. The railway between the two cities in East China will see trains with electric engines on July 1. This means that train speed will be raised from the current 160 kilometers to 200 kilometers per hour, reducing travel time between the two cities to 90 minutes from the current two hours and 17 minutes.
