In the first four months, the company had 886 freight train services to Europe, up 163 percent year on year, according to a report posted on peoplerail.com, China’s official railway news portal.

Meanwhile, freight train services by CRCT to central and western Asian countries also grew by 64 percent year on year.

For 2017, the company plans to launch 2,200 freight train services to Europe and another 2,000 to central and western Asian countries.
