Cargo trains transporting goods from central, southwest and south China across six countries to Europe will run regularly from April 8. The trains will travel along the Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe railway, a key economic transport corridor that starts at Chongqing and links East and West.
The regularly scheduled cargo trains will be a new addition to the line, which previously ran trains reserved for special orders, particularly IT products.
"Products other than IT products are welcomed to take the ride to Europe," said Yang Liqiong, deputy director of Chongqing's Municipal Commission of Economy and Information Technology and head of the Municipal Logistics Office.
