A train departed from Zhengzhou in central China on Saturday headed for Hamburg, Germany. That departure pushed the service past the 130,000-trip threshold. The cumulative value of goods moved on the route has reached more than $520 billion.
The freight trains operate between China and multiple European destinations on a regular schedule. Saturday's departure from Zhengzhou continued a pattern of consistent operations that has built the cumulative totals. The service moves a wide range of manufactured goods and commodities in both directions.
The route provides an overland alternative to sea shipping for companies seeking faster transit times between Asian production centers and European consumers. Volumes have grown steadily since the service began regular operations more than a decade ago.
