Abstract Railway transportation is an important mechanical infrastructure around the globe and is becoming more and more popular with citizens because of reliability and punctuality. However, it is practically challenging and theoretically important to increase efficiency of railway operations and the utilization efficiency of the existing infrastructures. Crowdfunding Train is the train based on crowdfunding method, which caters to the real demand of passengers. Xi’an Railway Bureau drove two crowdfunding trains between Xi’an and Yulin for the first attempt in China from Oct. 7th to Oct. 8th in 2017. This article describes this event and a series of mathematical models is built for the economic simulations of crowdfunding trains, especially about incomes, costs and profits, and then takes the crowdfunding train K8188 and K8187 in China as a case analysis to utilize models.
