Railway officials check papers of a cargo train, scheduled for Duisburg, Germany, in Changsha, Hunan Province, on Thursday. The launch of the “Europe-Hunan Express” cargo train put an end to a history of exporting goods to Europe only by sea. The 11,808-km journey takes 18 days for the train to arrive in Duisburg. The train will operate on a monthly basis. A subline cargo train to Moscow in Russia will pass through Toshkent in Uzbekistan and it will operate twice a month. Xinhua
