First CRE train in Year of the Ox Originated From Wuhan

At 5:23 on February 13, with a long whistle, X8015 train composed of 45 cars and carries more than 670 tons of goods including anti-epidemic supplies, electronic products, and auto parts made by factories in Wuhan and other parts of Hubei departed from Wujiashan Station of China Railway Wuhan Group Co., Ltd., heading for Mataszewicze, Poland. This is the first CRE train in the Year of the Ox originated from this station.

The train's 13 containers are loaded with more than 13,000 pieces and 100 tons of anti-epidemic supplies such as medical masks, protective gowns, and surgical gowns, which will help control the COVID-19 epidemic in European countries. Wujiashan Station is the originating and terminal station for CRE trains in Wuhan, without suspension of the transport organization even during the Spring Festival holiday. To ensure the smooth operation of CRE trains, more than 20 shunting, operating, freight, and safety technical personnel of the station work around the clock in joint efforts, thus ensuring the timely alignment, marshalling, coupling and departure on schedule of CRE trains.
