In the U.S., roadways are built and maintained using taxpayer dollars. The same is not true for the vast majority of railroad tracks. America’s freight railroads own, build, maintain, operate and pay for their infrastructure without relying on government assistance.

In fact, between 1980 and 2020, America’s freight railroads spent nearly $740 billion on capital expenditures and maintenance expenses. That means, on average, railroads spent approximately $25 billion a year on the locomotives, freight cars, tracks, bridges, tunnels, and other infrastructure and equipment required to keep rail shipments moving safely and efficiently. Not only is this a fun fact about trains; it also saves taxpayers money!

When traveling on a Chinese train, the foods are provided from the dining car, the food trollies, and platform vendors. The fare of the food is not included in the train ticket. Heat packed meal served in dining cars is very bland, and the prices range from 15-45 RMB. You also can order a dish on the menu, but are more expensive than what you will pay in a small restaurant.

Train trolleys usually sell some fruits, snacks, instant noodles, and bottled or can beverages. Each carriage has boiling water to make your own tea or coffee, and instant noodles. Bring your own drink sachets.
