Haunting aerial photos of train maintenance center go viral
Eerie aerial photographs of high-speed trains at a maintenance yard in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, have gone viral ahead of the Spring Festival travel rush.
In the photos, the metallic trains are arranged in rows and starkly lit by beams of white light. At the front of the trains, bright red lights glow ominously.
The photos were shot on January 13, the first day of the Spring Festival transport rush, as was reported on people.com.cn.
High-speed trains enter the center every night for maintenance. The facility is also known as a “hospital for high-speed trains.” There are 52 such centers across China intended to ensure the normal operation of more than 2,000 high-speed trains.
National railway passengers are expected to reach 356 million during the 40-day Spring Festival travel season, according to China Railway Corporation. More than 178 million passengers are expected to travel by high-speed train.
