China is one of the world's fastest growing economies. According to the China Railways Magazine Number 2/2000, China planned to invest 50 billion annually in railway construction from 2000 to 2005. In 2000, China had 70,057 total km (43,531 miles) of track by 2003 this had increased to 73,002 km (45,361 miles) an increase of 6% over a three year period. By 2020, China has the ambitious goal of adding 28,000 km (17,398 miles) of railways. In the last 30 years China's total rail has increased by 33%. The anticipated need for new crossties in China for the next few years is close to 90,000,000 crossties.
