China Rail Freight Shows Signs of Recovery in September

(Beijing) — China's rail freight volumes showed signs of recovery in September as coal producers start relying more on railway transport after Beijing cracked down on overloaded vehicles.

China Railway Corp. (CRC), the country's railway operator, saw a 4.6 percent year-on-year increase in cargo volumes in September, the first time in more than two years that the CRC has seen back-to-back months of growth, the company said Wednesday.
