China uses the international standard gauge, while some countries in Central Asia and Europe use the international wide gauge standard. The gauge of China and Kazakhstan is different. Therefore, container reloading is required for the entry and exit of China EU trains, so as to ensure that China EU trains can run smoothly on the tracks of different countries.

"The inbound China Europe (Central Asia) trains need to be reloaded at the station, which is the key link to determine the transport efficiency of the trains." Pangjianwei said that in the 23 line container changing warehouse of Alashankou station, China Europe trains frequently enter and leave the warehouse, and on average, one China Europe train has to be changed every half an hour.

Zhang Bin, the freight organizer of the operation management section of Alashankou station, said that in the past, the access party was mainly responsible for the reloading of the return China Europe (Central Asia) trains, that is, the wide gauge line entered the country, completed the wide gauge and standard gauge reloading in China, and then sent to other cities in China through the standard gauge.

In order to improve the efficiency of China Europe train transportation, the China Kazakhstan railway department has actively coordinated the Kazakhstan railway to adopt the method of reloading at the port station of the delivery party for some return China Europe (Central Asia) trains, and further optimized the train transportation organization mode, based on the principle of "large in and large out, fast in and fast out".

The China Kazakhstan railway department has agreed to increase the mode of changing the return China Europe (Central Asia) trains from broad gauge to standard gauge after changing the Kazakhstan railway, further improving the receiving and departure capacity at the port and accelerating the customs clearance speed of China Europe (Central Asia) trains.
