Does it matter if the high-speed rail rains?

Normal rainy days will not affect high-speed rail travel, but in case of severe weather such as thunderstorms and strong winds, it may affect high-speed rail travel in order to avoid damaging railway facilities and equipment.

Severe weather such as strong wind, thunder and lightning, rainstorm and flood, hail, snow and fog, and extreme high temperature and low temperature weather may have an impact on the operation of high-speed rail, motor trains and their subgrade, bridges, power grids and other facilities. Although there are mature drainage devices in high-speed rail and tunnels, when the short-term rainfall intensity is too large, heavy rain may wash away the foundation, and thunderstorm activities may lead to communication and signal failures between trains and railways, laying a hidden danger for high-speed rail travel. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to railway facilities and equipment, the high-speed rail will be shut down.

In the case of uncontrollable railway transportation safety, closing railway lines and stopping passenger trains are the most effective ways to ensure passenger safety. If you travel in bad weather, you should give more understanding when the train is late. This is the responsibility for the vast number of passengers and the most basic guarantee for the safety of railway transportation.
