At the ceremony, a train consisting of 12 containers carrying sulphur, aluminium and milk packaged in factories in Hai Duong and Hung Yen provinces and Hai Phong City departed from Cao Xa Station to Yen Vien Station in Hanoi to connect with international intermodal trains for export to China.
According to VNR Deputy General Director Tran Anh Tuan, this event marks Cao Xa Station becoming a freight station in the rail freight network, participating in domestic freight transport from Hai Duong Province to other provinces and vice versa, and at the same time becoming an important link for the international transport network.
The station has undergone a two-phase renovation project since January 2024. The VNR plans to connect the station with international stations including Yen Vien, Lao Cai, and Dong Dang to facilitate international intermodal transport by train.
Under the project, two railway routes, Cao Xa - Yen Vien (Hanoi) – Kep (Bac Giang Province) - Dong Dang (Lang Son Province) – Pingxiang (Guangxi, China) and Cao Xa - Lao Cai – Shanyao (Yunnan, China) will be inaugurated, connecting firms' import and export goods to Chinese railways and countries on the Asia-Europe railway transport route.
