Aug 31, 2021 at 6:44 PMTX Logistik AG is enhancing its timetable between Germany and Italy. The company, part of the Mercitalia Group (Gruppo FS Italiane), will increase the number of trips on the Duisburg – Segrate route from five to six per week starting September 6. The expansion is due to the increased demand for the transport of semi-trailers.
(Troisdorf) Since the completion of the Gotthard axis expansion, modern trailers with a corner height of four meters (Profile P400) can be transported by rail through Switzerland without restrictions. This has given additional momentum to demand on this route. Therefore, TX Logistik is adding a Saturday departure to the existing Monday to Friday departures in both directions.
The trains operate between the DUSS terminal Duisburg-Ruhrort Hafen and the Intermodale Milano Segrate terminal east of Milan. The route runs along the Rhine via Zurich, through the Gotthard Tunnel, via Chiasso to Segrate and back.
Connection as an open train system
The connection is operated as an open train system. Up to 34 loading units can fit on one train. In addition to semi-trailers, which make up more than half of the loading units, containers, swap bodies, as well as tank and silo units are also transported. Consumer goods are primarily transported on this route.
