Freight train fetes 10,000th Europe trip

China Railway Express, also known as the China-Europe freight train, completed its 10,000th trip on Sunday as it returned to Wuhan, Hubei province, after a two-week journey from Hamburg, Germany.

Chinese freight trains made the trips between China and Europe on 65 rail routes since China Railway Express began the service in 2011.

Gao Ruorui, deputy general manager of Wuhan Han'ou International Logistics Co, said he has witnessed the development of the freight trains, with the number of trains departing from Wuhan steadily increasing over the years.
