All trains on Polish and German territory are operated by our railway carrier ERC – Eurasian Railway Carrier.

Alternative routes:

In addition to the gateway Brest, we run trains through the new rail corridor Kaliningrad / Grodno.

We are currently operating two trains a week on the route Kaliningrad – Duisburg.

From Kaliningrad we provide access to the short sea for connections to Germany, Scandinavia, the Netherlands as well as Poland and the Baltic ports, allowing massive synergy effects in price and transit time.

Alternative block train routes via Riga and Svisloch have also proven effective and stable in terms of operations and transit time.

The ‘Gateway to the East’ starts in Friedrichsdorf.
