Far East Land Bridge, a joint venture of Russian Railways Logistics, continues its geographic expansion by introduction of fast container train service on the new route linking China and Europe. The first train was dispatched on September 30 from Suzhou, China, via Zabaykalsk, Russia, Brest, Belarus, to Warsaw, Poland, and crossed the Russian border on October 4. Among the shipped cargo - electronics and technology items manufactured in China. The delivery is carried out in the framework of “Tran-Siberia in 7 days” project with the support of the Government of Suzhou. Average train speed on the territory of Russia exceeds 1000 km per day. According to preliminary calculations the train will reach the final point in Poland in 14 days.

According to Thomas Kargl, CEO of the Austrian FELB, the perspectives of the current project organized in cooperation with the government of Suzhou, PKP Cargo and Russian Railways Logistics on dispatching new speedy container train from Suzhou, industrial center in Eastern China, are promising, hence the volume expectation is estimated at three trains per week.
