This is the first "Heavenly Road Express" intercity train operated by China Railway Qinghai-Tibet Group this year, with a total transport volume exceeding 1400 tons. The goods are loaded at the starting station and fresh cold chain goods can reach the Lhasa West Station in one stop within 46 hours, achieving a new breakthrough in freight transportation on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
