High-speed trainmaker picks up steam in global operations, reports Lan Lan in Tangshan, Hebei.

Sun Binbin's family has worked for three generations for China's first railway factory, now owned by Tangshan Railway Vehicle Co, a subsidiary of CNR Corp. The factory is based about 150 kilometers from Beijing in Hebei province.

"My grandfather would be more than 90 years old if he still lived. My father retired from the same factory, and I work here, too," said Sun, 37.
