Rail Cargo Logistics Goldair carried out its first freight route on Wednesday, beginning from the Sindos industrial district of Thessaloniki.
The development comes after three and a half years of clearing bureaucratic "hurdles" and preparations by the RCLG-joint venture between Greece-based Goldair and the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB), which was established in 2014.
A relevant ceremony was scheduled to commemorate RCLG's first freight route, in the presence of Austrian ambassador to Greece Andrea Ikic-Böhm.
