Green-skinned train

Although strictly speaking only a subset of Chinese carriages have green as their original paint color, such as the Type 23 and Type 25B [zh], colloquially the term "green-skinned train" usually refers to the service classes of "普通旅客快车" (conventional fast train) and "普通旅客列车" (conventional slow train) which use locomotive-hauled trains without a fixed consist of railroad cars. Starting from 2014 almost all conventional rail cars have been gradually repainted to a "olive green" colour, supposedly to reduce operating expenses and make military use of railways harder to spot.^{[note 1][citation needed]} Only a few cars still retain their original color, in particular Type 25G cars maintained by Xidaku (西大库) depot in Beijing. This green-painting ("刷绿") has angered many Chinese railfans, and original-colored cars ("原色") are considered very valuable to photograph and film.
