The first Xi'an to Prague, Czech Republic train timetable was officially announced.

In the early hours of November 19th, with a long blast of the whistle, the X8153 China-Europe freight train loaded with car parts, household appliances, and other goods departed from Xi'an International Port Station of China Railway Xi'an Group Co., Ltd., heading to Prague, Czech Republic. This marks the first full-schedule China-Europe freight train, with a total journey time of only 11 days and 4 hours, improving transportation efficiency by about 30% compared to regular freight trains. The Xi'an to Prague route is the second full-schedule China-Europe freight train route added in Xi'an since the first full-schedule China-Europe freight train departed nationwide on October 26, 2022.
