HARBIN, June 2 (Xinhua) — More than 2,000 freight trains passed through the “eastern corridor” of China-Europe international rail freight transportation in both directions in the first five months of 2025, according to the Harbin branch of China Railways.
According to the data, the number of China-Europe trains passing through this corridor during the reporting period reached 26.3 percent of the country’s total.
There are three China-Europe rail freight corridors in China. In particular, the “eastern corridor” passes through the Manzhouli checkpoint /Manchuria, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, North China/, Suifenhe /Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China/ or Tongjiang /Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China/.
Currently, there are 27 flights through the “eastern corridor”, which connect more than 60 Chinese cities, including Changsha, Zhengzhou, Chengdu and Suzhou, with 14 countries, including Poland, Germany and the Netherlands.
Let us recall that at the end of May, a new tunnel appeared on one of the sections of this corridor. In the city of Suifenhe, located on the Chinese-Russian border, the construction of a new tunnel was completed as part of a project to improve the quality and modernize the railway section from Suifenhe to the state border of the Harbin-Suifenhe railway line.
The total length of the tunnel is 602 m, the distance from its exit to the border in a straight line is less than 400 m. It meets the needs of trains with different track gauges. -0-
