A fully-loaded train departs from Wuhan central Railway Station, heading towards Northern Europe.

A train carrying auto parts, toys, and other goods set off from Wuhan, on Oct. 15, 2025.

After arriving in Hamburg through Alataw Pass, part of the cargo will be transshipped to Sweden, Denmark, and Norway.

It marks the inaugural journey for the new China-Europe freight train route linking Wuhan with the three countries in Northern Europe.

According to reports, the new route is expected to take 22 days in total, cutting travel time by half compared to traditional transportation methods.
