A cargo train with 64 containers completed its maiden 13,000-km journey from Madrid, Spain, to China's eastern city of Yiwu on Sunday after a 24-day journey.
The train traveled along the Yixin'ou cargo line, the longest of all the China-European cargo railways, and its freight included wine and olive oil. The 13,000-km line, which passes through China, Spain, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany and France, opened late last year. The first train from China to Spain left Yiwu on November 18, and arrived in Madrid after 21 days.
