By November 3, the freight trains linking the coastal city of Lianyungang with Huai’an, where Huaigang Special Steel is based, had transported over one million tons of iron ore in 15,636 cars.

Making use of the Xinyi–Changxing Railway and the dedicated New Port cargo rail track, the iron ore trains are operated by Huai’an New Port Railway Co., Ltd amid efforts to help local companies. The train service started in September last year and runs once every two days.
