Russian Railways (RZD) has launched a high-speed cross-border freight service from Western Siberia to Northern Europe.

The train proceeded along the network owned by RZD in accordance with the agreed timetable and entered Finland via Buslovskaya border station.

 

After covering the 4,500 km route, the train arrived at its final destination, Hamina station, just 5.5 days after its departure. Freight deliveries along this route used to take 11.5 days. The shipper plans to dispatch up to ten such trains every month, RZD said. (ben)
