There is no relevant informations on Wikipedia English version so I would like to have a brief introduction.

It was exclusively designed during 90s for running in Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line (also the through trains between Guangzhou and Hong Kong). It is the most commonly seen Chinese passenger carriage in Hong Kong. It can speed at 160 km/h, and usually powered by DF11. There are the meanings of different type abbreviations:

“RZ” – Soft Seat.

“RZ1″ – Higher Class Soft Seat

“CA” – Dinning Car

“XL” – Luggage Car

“KD” – Generator Car (Electricity of the train is supplied by this car but not the locomotive)

It is the newest model of Chinese made passenger carriage. It can speed at 160km/h yet still comfortable. The cabin is quite luxurious. It is the one serving on direct express trains, and also the through trains running between Beijing/Shanghai and Hong Kong. There are the meanings of different type abbreviations:

“YW” – Hard Sleeper

“RW(25T)″ – Soft Sleeper

“RW(19T)” – Luxurious Soft Sleeper

“CA” – Dinning Car

“XL” – Luggage Car

(Electricity is supplied by the locomotive so generator is not needed)

There are some other variations not being drawn (like the one made in cooperation with Bombardier and the one used for routes to Tibet).

Relevant informations can be found on Wikipedia . However, only Chinese version is available so I would like to have a brief introduction.

It is one of the earliest pre-high speed (a special term used in China, refers to those speed between 160 km/h and 20o km/h) locomotive available. At the beginning it was produced exclusively for Guangzhou – Shenzhen Line (and also the through trains running between Guangzhou and Hong Kong), but it has been one of the most commonly used passenger locomotive in China nowadays. It is also the most commonly seen Chinese locomotive in Hong Kong, except the one to Beijing or Shanghai which uses SS8. “DF” is the abbreviation of “Dong Feng”, which means “East Wind”.

The first one in the drawing is the early version, which is also the version you can see in Hong Kong. The second one is the special version for placing some badges or the “face” of famous politicians. The third one is the most common version, which you may see it frequently when you travel by trains in Mainland. The last one is the highland version, which is used exclusively at higher altitudes (but still not powerful enough to climb to Tibet).
