A cargo train consisting of 41 carriages completed its first laden voyage from the city of Lodz in Poland to Chengdu, capital city of southwest China's Sichuan Province on Sunday.

The train, carrying mostly food and beverages, including beer and cookies, took 16 days to travel the 9,826-kilometer Chengdu-Europe cargo line.

The Chengdu-Europe express railway service was started in April, 2013. So far, a total of 106 cargo trains have traveled to Lodz from Chengdu, exporting goods worth 693 million U.S. dollars, but all have returned to China empty, according to Wan Wenjun, deputy manager of the Chengdu-Europe express railway company.

"The goods, including precision instruments and clothing from Sichuan and other parts of China are distributed to cities across Europe within three days," Wan said.

A number of cities -- including Chongqing in southwest China; Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Changsha in central China; Shenyang and Harbin in northeast China -- have rail freight services to Europe.
