A dedicated 54-car train carrying 3,400 metric tons of coal from Xinjiang, recently arrived at Lijin North Railway Station. The shipment was transferred through the park, helping strengthen the region's energy supply.
The park's rotary car dumper can unload more than 100 tons of coal in approximately 40 seconds. Through equipment upgrades and streamlined operations, the park has reduced the unloading time for a full train to about three hours, significantly improving the handling and transfer of bulk cargo.

Environmental safeguards remain an integral part of the operation. Mist-suppression systems help control dust during unloading, while automated equipment enables the rapid and efficient movement of coal.
The park has expanded its business beyond traditional freight services this year, signing contracts for more than 500,000 tons of cargo and adding petroleum coke storage and transportation. It also operates 60 electric heavy-duty trucks, supporting the development of a greener logistics network and Dongying industry.
