China-Europe freight train corridor hits 3,500 trips in 2024
AI take
The middle corridor's 3,500-trip milestone matters because it shows land-based Eurasian freight is maturing as a structural alternative to sea and air, not just a pandemic-era stopgap. The mix of auto parts and general merchandise signals it is increasingly carrying higher-value industrial inputs, which affects shippers weighing transit time against cost. Whether this volume holds as capacity and border-processing constraints tighten is the open question.
