Chinanews, Apr.25 �C According to the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad Corporation,
the Golmud-Lhasa section of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway will be put into
trial operation on July 1, and two systems supplying dispersed oxygen and
oxygen masks will be equipped on the train so as to help passengers
overcome altitude sickness.
It is reported that because of the existence of the anoxic condition
along the rail line, the Qinghai-Tibet Railroad Corporation will exert
all its efforts to build a comfortable "inner environment" in the cabin.
Two sets of oxygen supply system will be equipped on the train. One is
dispersed oxygen supply system, similar with the "central
air-conditioner", making the oxygen content in air remain at the level of
over 80% of that in the plain area. The other is oxygen mask installed
beside passenger seats. When passengers still feel oxygen deficiency in
the cabin, they can breathe with the oxygen mask directly.
Besides, a doctor and a nurse will be on every Qinghai-Tibet train to
provide first aid in emergency.
The Golmud-Lhasa section extends 1142 kilometers with 960-kilometer rail
across areas of over 4,000 meters in altitude. It is so far the highest
railway in altitude in the world as the top height reaches 5,072 meters
when it passes through Tanggula Range. The oxygen content in air along
the railway is just half of that in plain areas.
