<p>[quote user="CSSHEGEWISCH"]Catenary height is not even the chief issue. There is also a minor issue of gauge difference that causes its own set of problems.[/quote]</p> <p>The containers of one train are transloaded at the borders of China to Russia and Belarus to Poland within one hour. The whole run takes about two weeks so that doesn't matter. If there were not the different coupler systems the gage changing process could be executed on a slowly rolling train with special freight cars.</p> <p>The train is an offer for those who don't need air transport or find it too expensive but find ship transport too slow with shipping times of 30+ days.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
