The train rolled 13000 km between Yiwu and Madrid. The trip took 21 days.
Three weeks ago started a freight train in eastern China. Today it came up to Madrid, the world’s longest freight train journey.
Container train started in Yiwu in eastern China 21 days ago and reached on Wednesday Spain’s capital Madrid. It had then traveled 13,000 km.
On its journey it has been necessary to either adjust the wheelbase on wagon axles or transship containers at Due to different track gauges in China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Germany, France and Spain. The locomotives were changed after pulling the train around 800 km away.
With the test ride was understood that transportation is just over a week faster than if the containers are transported by boat.
After the Christmas holidays, the train will roll back the same route, now laden with Spanish ham, wine and olive oil.
