2月22日10时30分，一列满载26车螺纹钢的货运列车从云南玉溪研和站驶出，标志着中老铁路钢材出口专列正式开通运营。这批建筑材料将在72小时内运输992公里直达老挝万象，用于当地水利工程建设。
On February 22 at 10:30 AM, a freight train loaded with 26 cars of rebar departed from Yanhe Station in Yuxi, Yunnan, marking the official launch of the Yunnan-Laos Railway steel export special train. These construction materials will be transported 992 kilometers within 72 hours directly to Vientiane, Laos for local water conservancy projects.
玉溪作为中老铁路和玉河铁路的交汇点，具有显著的区位优势。当地钢材产业发达，产品畅销全国。自中老铁路开通以来，研和货运站已成功运输水果、生鲜等冷链产品及钢材货物，运输量和品类持续增长。
As the intersection point of the China-Laos Railway and Yuxi-Hekou Railway, Yuxi enjoys prominent geographical advantages. The local steel industry is well-developed with products sold nationwide. Since the opening of the China-Laos Railway, Yanhe Freight Station has successfully transported cold chain products like fruits and fresh goods as well as steel products, with continuous growth in both volume and variety.
本次专列采用40英尺、35吨集装箱装运，除在磨憨口岸办理通关手续外，全程不经编组作业，实现一站式直达运输。云南祺晟集团董事长毛志明表示，老挝基建需求旺盛，中国优质建材将有力支持当地城市发展，钢材跨境专列将成为集团重点发展项目。
The special train uses 40-foot, 35-ton containers. Except for customs clearance procedures at the Mohan Port, it operates without marshalling along the way, achieving one-stop direct transportation. Mao Zhiming, Chairman of Yunnan Qisheng Group, stated that Laos has strong infrastructure demand, and China's high-quality building materials will strongly support local urban development. The cross-border steel special train will become a key development project for the group.
数据显示，中老铁路开通2年多来，已累计运输货物3310万吨，其中进出口货物超760万吨，国际物流大通道作用日益凸显。
Statistics show that in the over two years since its opening, the China-Laos Railway has transported a total of 33.1 million tons of goods, including over 7.6 million tons of import-export cargo, demonstrating its growing role as an international logistics corridor.
