On February 3, 2026, a Central Asian train loaded with 1767 tons of high-quality flaxseed from Kazakhstan slowly entered the Yinchuan South Freight Yard of China Railway Lanzhou Group Co., Ltd. Yinchuan Railway Logistics Center. This is not just an ordinary freight train, but also a "golden passage" spanning Central Asia and ensuring people's livelihoods.

The journey of this batch of flaxseeds began at the port of Khorgos. After completing the bonded entry procedures, they did not make a stop and directly took the train eastward, eventually arriving in Yinchuan. After the goods landed, a race against time immediately began: short haul trucks quickly transported this batch of raw materials to Yinchuan Comprehensive Bonded Zone, waiting for them to undergo a "magnificent transformation" from agricultural products to high-quality edible oil.

As the Spring Festival approaches, the arrival of this "New Year's goods special train" appears particularly timely.

Ningxia is already a key area for flaxseed processing and consumption, and the demand for edible oil in the market during festivals is skyrocketing. After deep processing in the comprehensive protection zone, this batch of flaxseeds will be quickly converted into finished oil and directly released into the local and surrounding markets, effectively enriching the "holiday oil bottle" and making the New Year's Eve dinner of thousands of households more fragrant with oil.

Efficiency and cost are the most sensitive nerves of enterprises.

This is the first flaxseed special train of the company this year. With the full support of the railway department, not only has the operating time been greatly improved, but the transportation cost has also been significantly reduced, "said Lu Yang, a business personnel of Yinchuan Yinfei Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd., with joy in his words. The stable operation of the Central Asia freight train not only breaks the time and space barriers of traditional cross-border logistics, but also locks in a stable, high-quality, and cost-effective raw material supply chain for local processing enterprises.

However, the ambitions of the railway department are not limited to this. Keywords: Central Asia freight trains, railway logistics

While fully ensuring the unloading of flaxseed trains, Yinchuan Railway Logistics Center is coordinating the overall transportation capacity and incorporating key Spring Festival livelihood materials such as milk, grain, and vegetables into the "green channel". From flaxseed to rice flour oil, from the "basket of vegetables" to the "milk bottle", columns of steel dragons are filled with warmth, fully escorting the prosperity and stability of the holiday market.Editor/Cheng Liting
