After three and a half year's construction, the tracks have been laid for a new high speed railway between the northeastern Chinese cities of Harbin and Dalian. It's part of the region's first high speed railway.

The entire line will stretch over 900 kilometers, over half in Liaoning province, and the rest through the two provinces of Jilin and Heilongjiang. Train speed will be 200 kilometers an hour. Investment has reached nearly 70 billion yuan to date. Operation is expected to begin in 2012.
