A China-Europe freight train loaded with 165 vehicles departed from the Xi’an international port station on Thursday and headed for Russia’s capital Moscow, making the port station China’s first to reach the 20,000 mark.

As of Wednesday, the number of inbound and outbound China-Europe freight trains passing through the port station since the beginning of this year reached 3,946, up 29.7 percent year on year, and the total cargo loaded onto these trains has amounted to 3.5 million tonnes, marking an increase of 34.7 percent year on year.
