By combining quantitative calculation and qualitative analysis, the transport operation
mode and its feasibility, and the off-line train running scheme of Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger
special line were investigated. The research shows that a multi-speed transport mode should be
adopted in the passenger special line. In this mode, off-line and in-line trains share the same line,
and the combined traction way of a motor train unit and an ordinary locomotive is used for off-line
trains.
