NANJING -- A train loaded with 100 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units) of goods departed the city of Suzhou in East China's Jiangsu province for Milan, Italy on Monday, marking the first China-Europe freight train linking the two cities.

The exported goods included auto parts and cooking utensils manufactured in Jiangsu worth about $3.73 million, and are expected to arrive in Milan aboard the X8020 train in 25 days.
