Transcontinental cargo trains, linking China and countries along the Belt and Road routes have become an increasingly important source of wealth. Such train routes and networks, unified under the China Railway Express brand earlier this year, have expanded quickly after the Silk Road Economic Belt was launched.

With trains running more frequently between China and countries along the Belt and Road routes, loaded with goods and containers, trade volume has increased steadily.

According to industry experts, the transcontinental freight train services have been providing solutions for the international logistics industry and promoting international trade ties and economic development with countries along the route.
