(ECNS) -- China's CSR Corp on Tuesday displayed high-speed train models that can attain speeds of 250 kilometers per hour and resist alpine temperatures as well as sandstorms at a tech expo in Beijing.

The new trains could adapt to extreme weather in high-altitude areas with temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees and highs of 45, company staff revealed, while it could also resist sandstorms.

These trains would be operated along the Lanzhou-Urumqi railway after the current test run, it was added.

The Lanzhou-Urumqi high-speed railway is expected to open by the end of this year, with a speed of 250 kilometers per hour, cutting journeys to nearby provinces from 12 hours to about nine.

The 1,776 kilometers of track will be the longest one-off high-speed railway line in the world.
