China Railway Express opens new freight route to Poland

Since the China Railway Express debuted its freight train service to Europe, an increasing number of international companies have cashed on in its relatively high speed to transport goods overseas.

The costs of shipping via China Railway Express are almost the same as those of shipping goods by sea. But the former takes much less time to reach Lodz in Poland - 14 days versus 28 days - said Xie Zhuoxun, an official with the brand management department of Shenzhen Chuangwei-RGB Electronics Co Ltd, which makes Skyworth television sets in Guangdong province.

China Railway Express-Skyworth Express held a grand departure ceremony at Chengdu International Railway Port in Sichuan province on March 29.
