China on Wednesday increased the maximum speed of bullet trains on the Beijing-Tianjin high-speed railway to 350 km per hour (kph), reducing the inter-city travel time by five minutes.
The route now runs a Fuxing (Rejuvenation), the newest bullet train model developed in China.
The increase will shorten travel time between Beijing South Railway Station and Tianjin Railway Station from 35 minutes to 30 minutes with no price difference in fares.

"Level Crossing" is the railroad employee term you can google for, and its SUPER American/USA, in that only the USA doesn't care and does them all the time, most countries go to some effort to avoid them.
A good SN car analogy is in most countries, a pig iron blast furnace is pretty safe from old ladies and little kids accidentally walking by and falling in, because they're installed behind walls and fences in industrial factory areas, but in the USA, they're like fuck it, they build blast furnaces right thru downtown next to the city park, so lotsa USA folks get killed. Thats why they're pretty cavalier about them in civilized countries because the death toll is a bit lower than the USA for similar technology.
