At 6:55 on November20th, the D55562 high-speed train departed from Zhengzhou Railway Station to Taiyuan South Station, marking the official start of the trial operation of the Zhengzhou-Taiyuan High-speed Railway according to the train operation plan.

11月20日6时55分，随着D55562次高速列车从郑州站开出驶向太原南站，标志着郑太高铁全线正式开始按图试运行。

ConnectingHenan Province and Shanxi Province, the Zhengzhou-Taiyuan High-speed Railway includes the existing Zhengzhou-Jiaozuo Intercity Railway and the newly built Jiaozuo-Taiyuan high-speed railway. It is an important part of the "eight vertical and eight horizontal" high-speed railway network planned by the state, and is also a vitalartery in the northwestof the asterisk-shaped high-speed rail network planned by Henan Province.

郑太高铁位于河南省与山西省境内，包括已开通运营的郑州至焦作段（郑州至焦作城际铁路）和新建焦作至太原段，是国家规划建设“八纵八横”高铁网主通道的重要组成部分，也是河南省规划的“米”字形铁路网西北方向的大动脉。

The Zhengzhou-Taiyuan high-speed railway line is 428.9 kilometers long, with a designed speed of 250 kilometers per hour, passing through Jiaozuo, Changzhi, Jinzhong, Taiyuan and other cities. The running time of high-speed trains between Zhengzhou and Taiyuan will be shortenedto less thanthreehours, saving at least nine hours compared with regular trains.

郑太高铁线路全长428.9公里，线路设计时速250公里，线路途经焦作、长治、晋中、太原等地市。郑太高铁正式开通运营后，郑州至太原两个城市间的高铁列车运行时间将压缩到两个多小时，比普速列车至少节省9个小时。

High-speed trains have crisscrossed the country in recent years, giving people more options for travel. Sound urban services are designed to ensure a happy life for all.

近几年，高铁纵横交错，让人们的出行有了更多选择。城市配套服务的健全，就是为了给大家的幸福生活托底。

After the completion of the asterisk-shaped high-speed rail network with Zhengzhou as the center, it will form a three-hour economic circle covering over 30 cities such as Beijing, Xi'an and Wuhan as well as an eight-hour economic circle covering major large and medium-sized cities in China. By then, Zhengzhou and even Henan will be more easily accessible. Zhengzhouwill vigorously promote the "Belt and Road" Initiative so as to becomean important node city on the Eurasian corridor.

以郑州为中心的“米”字形高铁辐射网络建成后，将实现北京、西安、武汉等30多个城市的“3小时经济圈”和全国主要大中城市的8小时经济圈。届时，郑州开始从“四通”向“八达”发展，并带动河南迈向“九州通衢”。同时，还将大力推动“一带一路”建设，促使成为亚欧通道上重要的节点城市。
