this scheduled train, consisting of 52 sets of 40-foot containers, is loaded with high-quality fresh milk shipped by yili dairy co., ltd. of ningxia. with the train having entered operation, the transit time is expected to be reduced from the original 96 hours to approximately 46 hours, achieving a "one-stop" transportation process to ensure the milk arrives efficiently and effectively, thus reducing overall logistics costs.
"the launch of the milk scheduled train not only demonstrates the characteristics of the railway's high transport capacity, low transportation costs, and high safety, but also allows customers to accurately grasp the status of goods in transit, and arrange for pickup in advance. the business department has also put effort into source investigation, transportation organization, and loading quality to ensure the smooth operation of the milk scheduled train," said hei xiaobo, director of the freight yard of the qingtongxia business department.
going forward, the yinchuan freight center will strengthen cooperation with local authorities and enterprises, increase the frequency of launching scheduled container trains for various local goods, and enhance logistics service quality through multiple channels, in a bid to support the local industrial and economic development.
