中国铁路迄今已有100多年的历史：从其第一条营业铁路——上海吴淞铁路——1876年通车之时算起,是123年；从其自办的第一条铁路——唐胥铁路——1881年通车之时算起,也有118年了.
百余年来,中国的铁路事业经历了新旧两个根本性质不同的社会.无论从政治上还是从经济上,这都决定了它在其发展历程中必然会遭遇到两种迥然不同的命运和前途.
旧中国的铁路事业,虽是史无前例的产业,但却带有半封建半殖民地的性质.它的建设、发展和经营都被控制在帝国主义、封建主义和官僚资本主义的手里,其发展之缓慢和经营之惨淡,自不待言.新中国的铁路事业虽以旧中国的铁路设备为其物质基础,但由于在共产党和人民政府领导下,一贯坚持自力更生、艰苦奋斗、勤俭建国的方针,70年代后期以来又贯彻执行改革开放的政策,不仅迅速而彻底地改变了旧铁路的半封建半殖民地性质,而且取得了前所未有的辉煌成就.
当然,新中国的铁路事业在其长达50年的发展历程中,也不是一帆风顺的.它经历了由小到大、由少到多和由弱变强的渐进过程,在其前进的道路上不乏平坦与坎坷,欢欣与痛惜,经验与教训,胜利与失败.
这50年是中国铁路自强不息、坚忍不拔、披荆斩棘、前赴后继的50年,这50年又自有其曲折的变化和发展.20世纪70年代末和80年代初,中国铁路进入改革开放新时期.在新的路线和新的方针、政策指引下,铁路事业推陈出新,突飞猛进.
