40 containers on the rail route from China to Italy


A new rail journey began when the first ever regular westbound train to directly link China with Italy left the Chinese city of Chengdu last Saturday (26 January), carrying 40 containers. It is due to arrive at Contship Italia’s Rail Hub Milano terminal in 18 days’ time.

 

The train service is operated by Far East Land Bridge Company – initially operating on every second week, and weekly in the near future.

 

On the more than 10,000 km long route, the train will undergo two technical transfers: one on the boundary between Alashankou/Dostyk (Mongolia/Kazakhstan), and one in Brest/Malaszewice (Belarus/Poland). (ben)
