HOHHOT, June 26 (Xinhua) -- Erenhot Port in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has logged over 1,500 China-Europe freight trains so far this year, the local railway authorities said on Monday.
Since the port launched its China-Europe freight train service in 2013, it has handled a total of 12,592 China-Europe freight trains to date.
