On November 9, the launching ceremony of the Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe special freight train was held in Wenzhou West Railway Freight Station. The special freight train adopted the new model of "collecting cargoes from both the mainlines and the branches seamlessly and distributing the cargoes at the hubs", which shorten the assembly time of the export container in Jinhua South Railway Station from the original 2-3 weeks to 2-3 days, significantly improving goods delivery efficiency and lowering enterprises' logistics costs.

It is reported that, as of November 9, the China-Europe (Yiwu-Xinjiang-Europe) freight trains had made 1,700 trips in total and shipped 135,000 TEUs with an increase of 63 percent year on year, which accounts for more than 10 percent of the national level and nearly 60 percent of those in the Yangtze River Delta region.
