BEIJING -- The operator of a profitable high-speed rail line connecting Beijing and Shanghai will soon conduct a multibillion-dollar stock market debut that will help pay for the acquisition of a money-losing rail operator.

Chinese securities regulators have already approved the initial public offering by Beijing-Shanghai High Speed Railway, which is expected as early as in the first quarter of next year on the Shanghai stock market.
