The paper investigates the developing progress of express freight transport on high-speed railway at home and abroad. It is found that there are many successful cases for high-speed express freight transport products in foreign countries, suggesting the feasibility to carry out relevant services in China. Lack of advanced technology and effective operation management, the process of express freight transport on high-speed railway in China is postponed. After freight market demand analysis, the paper emphasizes on the infrastructures and running modes to analyze technical feasibility and on transport costs, efficiency and timeliness to analyze economic feasibility, ending with the conclusion that it is feasible for China to carry out express freight transport on high-speed railway, combined with some construction recommendations.
