国东部两列动车发生严重追尾的路段已恢复通车，事故发生后第一趟列车已通过该路段。此时当局正力图安抚公众对安全及事故处理的担忧，以及对备受重视的中国高铁系统未来命运的不安。

周一，一辆动车行驶过事故发生的地点。
这是自2008年以来中国最严重的铁路事故。投资者周一纷纷抛售香港和上海股市与中国高铁系统有关的公司的股票，反映了公众对这次灾难后果的普遍担忧。中国南车股份有限公司和中国自动化集团有限公司股价分别跌14%和 19%。事故中其中一列动车为中国南车与加拿大庞巴迪公司（Bombardier Inc）的合资企业生产，而中国自动化集团则负责设计和建设铁路安全和控制系统。
国金证券（Sinolink Securities）分析师徐炜说，市场一直预期投资增长会在下半年恢复，但这次事故可能会促使政府改革基础设施项目并减缓投资步伐。
周一，此次严重追尾事故可能的原因几乎没有新的细节浮出水面。事故导致四节车厢从约15米的高架桥坠落，另有两节车厢脱轨。中国铁道部已就此次灾难公开致歉，国务院副总理张德江周日晚间对记者说，政府将会以严肃认真、实事求是态度开展事故调查工作，依法依规严肃处理相关责任人员。张德江是被派往温州事故现场级别最高的领导人。
在中国人气最旺的新浪微博上，截至周一晚间约有6.5万人参与了一项在线调查，其中绝大多数人说，他们对政府的处理感到 “非常不满”。新浪微博用户jemmba写道，我代表我自己期待美驻华大使馆找当局要个说法，关注！另一位用户问道，可不可以派CIA或FBI过来调查？

周六温州动车追尾相撞事故后在人们寻找亲人遗 的太平间里，亲属们在安慰一名妇女。
铁道部在其网站上发表声明说，编号DJ5603的高速列车当地时间周一上午6:57通过事故地段。声明说，全线运输秩序预计将“逐步恢复”。
中国官员依然对高速铁路表示出信心。铁道部新闻发言人王勇平周日在温州举行的新闻发布会上向死者和伤者的家属道歉，并深深鞠躬。他保证说，尽管发生了周六的追尾事故以及上个月开通的京沪高铁出现了多次故障，但中国高铁依然是安全的。
新华社援引王勇平在温州告诉记者的话说，尽管动车发生了事故，对铁路的形象会造成一定影响，会有很多人质疑高铁是否安全。但是事故原因还在调查，这肯定是有特殊原因的。我国的高铁技术是先进的，合格的，我对它仍然有信心。
中国正努力保持建造一张巨大的高铁网络并将高铁技术出口到海外市场的势头。中国的高速铁路网络已经是全球最大的网络，估计总建设成本近3,000亿美元，未来高铁线路总长有望达到1.6万公里。
周日，从温州事故现场拍摄的照片和播出的电视新闻画面可以看到挖土机等大型设备正在处理部分列车残骸，这致使部分民众猜测，政府正试图掩埋残骸以掩盖事故发生的原因。
铁道部新闻发言人王勇平周日晚在温州的新闻发布会上说，据他在事故现场了解，因为事故现场是一个泥潭，对于施工很不方便。所以把车头掩埋了，便于抢险。

The first high-speed train passed through the tracks where a deadly train collision occurred in eastern China, as authorities sought to soothe public concern over safety and the handling of the accident as well as jitters about the future of its prized high-speed rail system.
The death toll from Saturday's incident, where one high-speed train rear-ended another that appears to have been stalled by a lightning strike near the city of Wenzhou, rose to 39 on Monday, with another 192 counted as injured. Two of the dead were U.S. citizens, said U.S. Embassy in Beijing spokesman Richard Buangan, who said that consular officials have been in touch with the family members of the two dead Americans.
Reflecting widespread public concern about fallout from the disaster─China's worst railway accident since 2008─investors unloaded Hong Kong- and Shanghai-listed shares of firms connected to China's high-speed rail system on Monday. CSR Corp., which built one of the trains involved in the collision through a joint venture with Canada's Bombardier Inc, plunged 14%, while China Automation Group Ltd., which designs and builds safety and control systems for railways, fell 19%.
'The market has been expecting investment growth to recover in the second half, but the accident may prompt the government to overhaul infrastructure projects and slow the pace of investment,' said Xu Wei, an analyst with Sinolink Securities.
Few new details emerged Monday on possible causes of Saturday night's deadly collision, which sent four train cars plunging off a roughly 15-meter bridge and derailed two others. China's Railways Ministry issued a public apology for the disaster, and Vice Premier Zhang Dejiang─the most senior official dispatched to the accident scene in Wenzhou─told reporters late Sunday that the government would conduct a 'serious' and 'honest' investigation and punish those responsible.
On Sina Weibo, the most popular of China's Twitter-like microblogging services, the overwhelming majority of the roughly 65,000 people who had participated in an online poll as of Monday evening said they were 'very dissatisfied' with the government's response. 'I eagerly await the U.S. Embassy asking for an explanation from the authorities─paying close attention!' wrote Weibo user jemmba. 'Would it be possible to send the CIA or FBI over to investigate?' asked another user.
Meanwhile, the Chinese government sent out directives to state media outlets telling journalists and editors how to cover the Wenzhou high-speed train crash. According to a journalist working for one state-run news outlet, his TV station received directives telling it to 'focus on rescue work,' among other non-sensitive things, and try to keep as much as possible from digging into the causes of the accident or government measures being taken to investigate.
The Railways Ministry said in a statement on its website that high-speed train number DJ5603 passed through the accident site at 6:57 a.m. Monday local time. The statement said the operation of the rail line is expected 'to gradually go back to normal.'
Chinese officials voiced continued confidence in the high-speed rail service. Railways Ministry spokesman Wang Yongping on Sunday apologized to the families of the deceased and the injured, bowing deeply in a press conference held in Wenzhou. He offered assurance that high-speed trains in China are safe, despite Saturday's crash and a spate of malfunctions trains experienced on the line connecting Beijing and Shanghai that opened last month.
'Our high-speed trains are safe and qualified, and our technology is advanced,' Mr. Wang was quoted by Xinhua news agency as telling reporters in Wenzhou. 'We still have confidence, even though this accident brought negative effects to China railway and many people are beginning to worry about the safety of our high speed rail system.'
China is trying to keep the momentum of the national drive to build a huge network of high-speed rail and export its technology to markets overseas. China's high-speed rail network is already the world's largest such network, with an estimated total cost of nearly $300 billion and plans for 16,000 kilometers, or 10,000 miles, of tracks.
On Sunday, backhoes and other large equipment were seen in photos and television news footage from the scene of the accident in Wenzhou manipulating some of the wreckage, prompting some to speculate the government was trying to bury the wreckage to cover up the accident.
Ministry spokesman Mr. Wang said in the press conference in Wenzhou Sunday that he learned on the scene that the wreckage manipulation was necessary to deal with a muddy pond on the site and enable rescue equipment to reach parts of the site more easily.
