The train was loaded with electronic products such as liquid crystal display monitors and notebook computers and set off from the Chengdu International Railway Port. 

The trip to its destination in Tilburg, the Netherlands should take 14 days.

The city has made efforts to improve the service quality of the train, putting more resources into to handling customers’ complaints, promising to give feedback within two hours and aiming for a zero-complaints service level.
