TIANJIN, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — A freight train carrying 55 40-foot containers loaded with household appliances, auto parts and other goods departed from Tianjin, north China, to Central Asia on Monday, marking the official launch of the Tianjin-Central Asia train route, which will operate on a regular schedule.
The train will cross the state border through the Khorgos checkpoint and arrive in Central Asia in approximately 10 days, according to the Tianjin Container Center, which is subordinate to the Beijing branch of the China State Railway Corporation (CSRC).
Freight trains running on a fixed schedule provide customers with reliable logistics, which helps manufacturers and trading companies develop medium- and long-term production and sales plans, and improves the service reliability and attractiveness of Tianjin Port, said Mu Congkai, head of the marketing department of Tianjin Railway Logistics Center.
To ensure the smooth operation of freight trains, Tianjin Container Center has also strengthened cooperation and communication with Tianjin Customs, Tianjin Port and other relevant departments to further improve customs clearance efficiency and reduce train transportation time.
China-Europe/China-Central Asia freight train services departing from Tianjin are deeply integrated into trade and economic cooperation between SCO countries, stated Wang Huan, General Manager of Tianjin Dongjiang International Railroad Operation and Management Company. He reported that the company's product range has gradually expanded from its initial focus on automobiles and auto parts to now include more than 1,400 types of goods, including construction machinery, electrical equipment, furniture and household appliances, chemicals, and textiles. The main destinations of Dongjiang trains have become Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries.
It is worth noting that in the first three quarters of 2025, a total of 284 China-Europe/China-Central Asia freight trains were dispatched from Tianjin Container Center, up 40 percent year-on-year, further promoting connectivity between China and relevant countries. -0-
