At about 13:30 on October 11, the X8704/3 train, which was full of goods imported into Tibet, slowly left the Chengdu North Group Station. The Chengdu-Lhasa Tuding train was officially launched, and the imported goods ushered in a new railway transportation option. The first train launched this time totaled 25 cars, with a cargo weight of over 500 tons and a cargo value of over 15 million yuan. The cargo categories covered more than 10 categories such as timber, food, chemicals, and metal products. The relevant person in charge of the Chengdu Railway Logistics Center of China Railway Chengdu Bureau Group Co., Ltd. explained that the train will operate in a “fixed time, fixed route, fixed schedule” model, and the entire journey will run for about 68 hours. “After the normal operation of trains, our transportation cycle to Tibet was drastically shortened.” Dong Guoyong, general manager of Chengdu Hongkunda Logistics Co., Ltd., said.
