Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and China launch new railway route

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and China have launched cargo transportation along a new route in accordance with agreements on the organization of freight transportation along the China-Kazakhstan-Uzbekistan route and the development of the Trans-Afghan direction, Trend reports, citing Kazakhstan Railways (KTZ).

Thus, the cargo train was sent from the Kazakh-Chinese terminal in the port of Xi'an. The containers were reloaded at the KTZE Khorgos Gateway dry port and continued to follow the KTZ network to the Saryagash border station, then to the final point - Tashkent station.

As a result, the container train went the whole nine yards, covering a whopping 4,486 kilometers in a jaw-dropping record time of just 5 days.

"A short period of cargo transportation is ensured thanks to the use of KTZ terminal capabilities in China, as well as consistent interaction between the railway administrations of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan to expand the border infrastructure of the two countries," KTZ said.

As KTZ noted, due to the reconstruction and improvement of technological processes, the capacity of the Saryagash interstate junction station, through which the main cargo flow between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan passes, has been increased by 50 percent.
