    The near fault (NF) line waves send out signal envelopes that oscillate over lengthy periods of time with periodic impulses. Like train bridges, train tracks demonstrate comparable track-bridge (TB) motion dynamics. Using these coupling dynamics, are the high-speed train-track-bridge (HSTTB) system designs sensitive to those parameters? This research incorporates a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technique developed for simulating the dynamic reactions of the coupled TB system when faced with simultaneous NF lateral and vertical ground motions (GMs). For the first time, data from the pre-commissioning field testing of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train are utilized to validate the Train-Track-Bridge Dynamic Analysis (TTBDA) test. As a matter of fact, the current research has concentrated on the running safety of the high-speed train's operations, as well as the possible derailment mechanism of the high-speed train, in light of the far-field (FF) earthquakes. This analysis reveals that the NF GMs in the bridge structure's seismic reactivity are considerable. Many high-speed train derailments are due to frequent wheel displacement, elevated wheels, and significant lateral motion. The data discovered in the field may give engineers vital information for calculating relevant situations and railroad engineering projects.
