Huang Xiaokang, general manager of Yituo (Luoyang) Logistics Co, said the service provides a stable logistics passage amid the COVID-19 pandemic that has raised uncertainty for road transport.
"The freight rail services improve transport efficiency and lower logistics costs," he said.
Dongfanghong (Luoyang) International Land Port said it reached container throughput of 17,716 20-foot equivalent units for the first three quarters this year, an increase of about 40 percent year-on-year.
