The Military Representative Office stationed in Wuhan Railway Bureau organized on August 19 a “door-to-door” transportation of military materials in railway containers from the quartermaster depot to the destination troop units, which is the first time of its kind in history of the railway transportation of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA).
The reporters saw at the loading site that five soldiers were driving mechanized no-platform conveyors to carry 120 boxes of coverlets and clothes out of the military depot and directly loaded them into the railway containers. All the procedures of stowage, joint inspection, sealing, and handover were handled at the depot. Upon arrival at the unloading site through railway, this batch of military materials would be delivered to the troop units directly by the local logistics companies.
According to introduction, this kind of "door-to-door” military transport has simplified the intermediate links in the whole process of transportation, and with the railway container positioning system, the precise positioning and whole-course dynamic control of military materials during the trip could be realized.
