Austria’s Rail Cargo Group is launching a new weekly container freight train from central China to Vienna, through Ukraine. Separately, Rail Cargo, a unit of Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), recently announced that it is doubling – to twice a week — the frequency of its freight trains from Xian, China to Budapest, also through Ukraine. Previously, some China-Central Europe trains passed through Belarus. The China-Kazakhstan-Russia-Ukraine route provides “the best geopolitically, the fastest and most stable solution for the transportation of small goods between Xi’an and Vienna on a stable rail route,” the Austrian company told Ukraine’s Center for Transportation Strategies.
