Why are many green trains now, but there are no red and white trains?

"Red leather car" is a common name for a specially painted Chinese railway passenger car. The main color of bus exterior painting is orange and white, hence the name "red leather car".

1987 Changchun Bus Factory, Tangshan Locomotive & Rolling Stock Factory and Nanjing Puzhen Vehicle Factory jointly manufactured 25A passenger cars, commonly known as "red leather cars", which were put into operation in Beijing Railway Bureau on September 1990, with a history of 24 years. In China's railway passenger cars at the beginning of the 20th century, the "red leather car" is an air-conditioned passenger car, and its equipment level is superior to most traditional "green leather cars", and it is often used for marshalling passenger trains such as express trains, local trains and some in-pipe express trains.

From 20 14 to 10 in 2004, China Railway Corporation changed the exterior paint for ordinary trains with a speed below 160 km/h.

According to the deployment, the train skin painting transformation includes ordinary passenger cars, express (K prefix), express (T prefix) and through express (Z prefix) train bodies. The car bodies of bullet trains, high-speed trains and intercity trains are not included in this painting transformation. Previously, Z-prefix and T-prefix trains were mostly blue and white, while K-prefix trains and express trains were mostly red and white.

The modification is huge, covering all ordinary passenger cars except bullet trains, involving at least 48,000 ordinary trains, and it is the largest appearance modification project of ordinary trains in China railway history.

The exterior of these trains will be painted olive green, the belts will be light yellow and the roofs will be gray. In the future, ordinary speed buses in China will distinguish the speed grades according to the different belt shapes.
