Baltic Rail offers upgraded container service with a stop in Vienna

Open service: Twice weekly container block train with Baltic Rail’s upgraded Koper-Wroclaw-Ostrava-Koper connection
As of January 2015 Baltic Rail reshaped its container block train service on the Koper-Wroclaw route. It will be run twice per week, with options to stop in Katowice, Ostrava and Vienna. Northbound rail transit time is 39 hours.

Apart from optimised routing with improved transit times, Baltic Rail started a new container terminal in Wroclaw-Siechnice (just South East of Wroclaw). Moreover, a second weekly train was added – both regularly are calling at Ostrava Paškov terminal on the south-bound journey. Pre-carriage and on-carriage by truck can be arranged on customer request.

The Baltic Rail’s Koper-Wroclaw-Ostrava-Koper is an open service. Initially it will be starting from Koper on Wednesdays and Fridays – though in March a shift to Mondays and Wednesdays departure is pre-advised to better suit new and faster turn-around schedules on direct services from the Far East servicing the port of Koper.

The container-train operator and container forwarding company Baltic Rail is active in both European railway gauge 1435mm and Russian railway gauge 1520 mm, and runs rail services in the Baltic-Adriatic rail corridor between North and South Europe. The customers are served from railway operating offices in three countries (Estonia, Poland, Ukraine), and sales and agent offices in Germany, Slovenia and Israel.

Baltic Rail is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Rail World Group, a management, consulting and investment company headquartered in Chicago, with operations on railway markets of North America and Europe.
