China-Europe freight trains have been working overtime this spring 🌸, hitting an all-time high in cargo transport this May! According to the China State Railway Group, these modern Silk Road routes clocked 1,724 trips last month – that’s a 14% jump compared to 2023. 🚂💨
But here’s the real flex: They moved a whopping 186,000 TEUs (think shipping containers stacked like LEGO blocks 🧱) – enough goods to fill 10 soccer stadiums! 🌍📦
What’s fueling this boom? China Railway’s been turbocharging its logistics game with tech upgrades and smarter route planning. Since January, they’ve focused on building a ‘railway superhighway’ connecting the Chinese mainland to Europe – perfect for everything from gadget parts to trendy fashion. 👗🔋
Bonus stat alert 🚨: National railway cargo hit 337 million tonnes in May. That’s like moving Mount Everest… twice! ⛰️📈
