Where is Wuhan, the Chinese city at the center of the coronavirus outbreak? | CNN Travel

In addition to conventional railway networks, Wuhan is one of the stops on two of the main long-haul high-speed railway lines: Beijing-Guangzhou (from north to south) and Shanghai-Chengdu high-speed railway (from east to west). It’s also home to one of just four major train maintenance centers in the country.

FFS… note the picture with the trains…. this is one of 4 maintenance yards in China.  How many freaking high-speed trains do they have?

Apparently >1000 “trainsets”, which I conclude are complete trains (locomotives and passenger cars, although these definitions are not quite right when discussing this type of train…)

ETA: see this 2008 -> 2018 difference map.  10 years…
