A spokesperson from CR's Freight Transport department introduced that CR has thoroughly studied and implemented the spirit put forward in the 20th CPC Central Committee's Third Plenary Session and the Central Economic Work Conference. They have diligently followed the decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, continuously deepened the market-oriented reform of freight transportation, accelerated the construction of a modern railway logistics system, actively aligned with the logistics market demand, optimized the supply of freight products, and carefully created faster, more efficient and better service-oriented railway logistics products with higher cost-effectiveness to provide strong support for economic and social development.

　　The spokesperson introduced that the Fast Logistics Demonstration Trains operate on six routes across major economic regions such as Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, Yangtze River Delta, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Chengdu-Chongqing region. The trains use a full container configuration. Key features compared to traditional freight trains include: First, passenger-style operations. The trains follow a clear schedule of departure and arrival time, with the railway authority ensuring punctuality and safety throughout the journey to enhance logistics timeliness. Second, transparent booking and pricing. Customers can check real-time train availability and prices on the Railway 95306 website, with a "first come, first served" policy for booking, ensuring transparent logistics services. Third, high speed operation. The trains are scheduled to run at a maximum speed of 120 kilometers per hour, with an actual average running speed of up to 73 kilometers per hour, covering 1,750 kilometers per day. The total transportation times for the routes are as follows: Beijing Fengtaixi Railway Station to Guangzhou Jiangcun Railway Station takes 33 hours; Jinhuadong Railway Station to Guangzhou International Port takes 17 hours; Hefeidong Railway Station to Chengdu Chengxiang Railway Station takes 24 hours; Guangzhou Zengchengxi Railway Station to Tianjin DaBiZhuang Railway Station takes 35 hours; Guangzhou Jiangcun Railway Station to Hangzhoubei Railway Station takes 21 hours; Shenzhen Pinghunan Railway Station to Chengdu Chengxiang Railway Station takes 34 hours. This is approximately 30% faster than regular freight trains. Fourth, improved service quality. The railway authority offers end-to-end pick-up and delivery, warehousing and en-route tracking services. They focus on ensuring the availability of wagons, organizing loading and unloading operations, and maintaining efficient intermodal rail-road connections to enhance overall logistics efficiency. High-volume customers can sign a "volume-price mutual guarantee" agreement to become contract clients, enjoying discounted booking prices.

　　The spokesperson stated that the successful launch of the Railway Express Freight Demonstration Train is a beneficial exploration and the latest result of deepening the market-oriented reform of railway freight transportation. This initiative further enriches the supply of railway freight products, better meets logistics market demand, and has significant implications for optimizing transportation structure, developing multimodal transport, and promoting the shift of transport "from road to rail". Moving forward, the railway authority will closely monitor the operation of the express freight demonstration train, continuously optimize transportation organization and service measures, and enhance the quality and efficiency of train operations to provide customers with safer, more stable, smooth and efficient transportation services.
