New combination of rail, road and ship


New combination of rail, road and shipA new direct rail connection from the Northern range Port of Antwerp to the “Four-Country Region” of Austria, Germany, Liechtenstein and Switzerland is on. This train is part of the Green Xpress Network of rail freight operator Lineas, and gives the German Swabia and Austrian Vorarlberg region rail access to the European hinterland and deep-sea. Three Xpress trains per week will connect Antwerp to Langweid-Foret in southern Germany, and further to Wolfurt in Austria. A stop in Recklinghausen allows a direct rail link with the Ruhr area. In Swabia, freight forwarder Karl Schmidt Spedition has intensified its rail operations and opened up its rail tracks to other companies. In Vorarlberg, the train discharges the remaining cargo at Combi Cargo Terminal Wolfurt, part of Terminal Service Austria (TSA). The Green Xpress Network was launched in 2014 and now has more than 20 connections.
