Quote:
"Trucking or carrying goods by train [from Chongqing] to the ports of Shanghai or Shenzhen’s Yantian [深圳市 盐田区] and then shipping them to Western Europe can take 40 days.
"Shipping one container by train costs about $10,000, one-third the price of air transit, Prophet says. Although the train is about twice the cost of shipping by sea, it takes only 21 days for products from a factory in Chongqing to reach Western Europe by rail.
