"On November 5th 2023, with a loud whistle, the China Railway Express (Xi'an-Baku), running through the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor, departed from the Xi'an Guojigang Railway Station."
This war reported under the title: "The First Train Departs!" by People's Railway Daily on Nov. 11, 2023.
It continues:
"This event marked a practical and pragmatic effort by the railway department in implementing the spirit of the China-Central Asia Summit and the 3rd 'Belt and Road Initiative' International Cooperation Forum, actively contributing to the joint construction of the Trans-Caspian International Transportation Corridor.
At 10:00 a.m., 50 containers fully loaded with new energy vehicles, steel pipes, and other export goods traveled westward by the China Railway Express from the Xi'an Guojigang Railway Station, leaving the country from the Khorgos Port and heading for Baku Port in Azerbaijan via the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor, with a total transportation time of about 11 days. The operation of the China Railway Express greatly reduces transportation costs and provides more convenient, fast, and efficient logistics services for domestic export enterprises."
