Hi,

hot news regarding New Silk Route about which I was writing in previous articles! 
13th May is the date when first cargo train has reached Antwerp port from Chinese Tangshan.

The whole journey through China - Kazachstan - Belarous - Poland - Germany, more than 11 000 kilometer, took only 16 days. To compare, cargo ship arives to Antwerp from China after 35 days. 

What still has to be reconsidered is amount of cargo containers that can be taken. Train arrived with 34 of them, when cargo ships can take more than 800.
