HARBIN, November 17 (Xinhua) — Since the Tongjiang Railway Checkpoint (in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province) opened in 2022, it has handled a total of 273 China-Europe international freight trains, carrying over 14 million tonnes of export and import cargo, according to the Harbin branch of China Railways.
The Tongjiang railway checkpoint is a first-class national border crossing. Since its commissioning in November 2022, the travel distance from this checkpoint to markets in the interior of Europe has been reduced by 809 km compared to the Suifenhe railway checkpoint, saving approximately 10 hours, effectively reducing traffic congestion at the Manzhouli and Suifenhe checkpoints.
Currently, China-Europe freight train services operating through the Tongjiang Port of China cover 14 European countries and connect over 60 Chinese cities. They primarily transport cargo to Europe from the cities of Changsha, Shenyang, Harbin, Shanghai, and their surrounding areas. The range of goods transported has expanded from coal and iron ore concentrates to more than ten categories of goods, such as auto parts, aluminum ingots, and food products.
The project to reconstruct and expand the capacity of the Jiamusi-Tongjiang Railway is currently proceeding smoothly. Upon completion, the line's capacity is expected to triple, and the volume of imports and exports through the Tongjiang Port will increase by more than 40 percent.
