Feasibility of Mixed Marshalling of Passenger and Cargo Transportation on a High-Speed Railway

With the comprehensive construction of high-speed railway and deepening reform of the railway freight transportation, high-speed railway is labeled with safe, fast, punctual and other features, which will bring infinite possibility for the railway freight transportation, therefore the research of fast freight trains on high-speed railway is a meaningful exploration. Combining with the current situation of the development of high-speed railway freight transportation in China and abroad, six modes of high-speed railway freight transportation in theory is put forward in this paper. By analyzing the operation conditions of all aspects of the six modes, the suitable mode of China in the short term is the mode of the high-speed train with the mixed marshalling of passenger and cargo. Then this paper prove the feasibility of the mixed marshalling of passenger and cargo transportation on the high-speed railway through selecting and transforming the appropriate freight train, constructing the freight line and platform in the stations on the high-speed railway, analyzing the transport organization technology and the economic operation conditions. In the end, the further research work and the operation mode of the high-speed railway freight transportation in the future are put forward.
