China Railways 25G rolling stock (Chinese: 中国铁路25G型客车), or China Railways 25 inproved rolling stock (Chinese: 中国铁路25改进型客车) is a series of passenger carriages built in China. The carriages run services in mainland China, and on the Trans-siberian railway for international services to Moscow. They are also exported to Mombasa-Narobi railways, Ethio-Djjbouti railways and Guiena railways.
Development
After the success of building the China Railways 25A rolling stocks, the Railway Bureau of China (now China Railway) decided to develop a new type of "Upgraded 25.5 metre sized air-conditioned and non air-conditioned passenger coaches" (升级换代产品 25.5米空调和非空调客车). The development lasted for a year till the first 25G carriage was built in Changchun Rolling Stocks Factory (now CRRC Changchun) and first used on the express train 13/4 Beijing to Shanghai to replace the 22 coaches.
Improvements
2nd Generation (2002-2003)
To meet the 25B and 25G coaches standard in 2002, the newly-built coaches were fitted with new bogies. Those bogies are still used on modern 25G coaches with Anti-wheelslip devices and disc brakes. Most trains are fitted with sliding doors, double layer windows and rubber connections between coaches. Some of them are also fitted with vacuum sewage compartments and sealed connections. However, not all new generation coaches had those devices.
