Wuhan restarts freight trains to Europe amid pandemic

In about 15 days, the China-Europe Railway Express, which departed from the central China city of Wuhan on Saturday, will reach its destination in Duisburg, Germany, making it the city's first outbound freight train to the continent in two months since the coronavirus outbreak.

Having gradually recovered from COVID-19, China's once hardest-hit city now has so much to offer to the rest of the world.

"When the epidemic here in Wuhan was brought under control, resumption of train service was in high demand," said Gao Ruorui from Wuhan-Europe International Logistics, the agency in charge of business for the freight train.

On the train, 19 out of 50 containers carry locally-manufactured medical supplies. Auto parts, electronics and optical fibers are also being transported.
