Turkey to China Train launched
Freight trains depart from Turkey's capital Ankara for Russia and China.
Travel 4,650-km in only 12 days. Unfortunately this Train only carries freight. Perhaps this will change after the Pandemic,
ANKARA, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- The first block export freight train from Turkey to Russia and a new Turkey-China export train departed on Friday from Turkey's capital Ankara.
"Following the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line and successful completion of export railway services through the central hallway between Turkey and China in December, we are happy to send our first block export train from Ankara to Moscow," Turkish Transport and Infrastructure Minister Adil Karaismailoglu said at the ceremony at the train station.
The train en route to Moscow carries major appliances on 15 wagons and 15 containers for the 4,650-km distance, the minister said.
The train bound for China is carrying 1,000 tons of the mineral boron in 42 containers via the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, Karaismailoglu noted.
The project, which aims for a massive transportation network linking Asia, Europe and the Middle East, is a very important project for Turkey and a very important opportunity, he said.
The transit time between Turkey and China decreased to 12 days from 30 days thanks to this project, the minister added.
Turkey sent its first export train to China on Dec. 19, 2020. ■
