Rail Cargo Group and its Greek partner Goldair Cargo launched their first rail freight operation on June 27, at RCG terminal in Sindos, Thessaloniki, making the first trip from the terminal to Idomeni, near the border with Macedonia.
Rail Cargo Logistics – Goldair will operate as an open-access rail freight operator with trains providing freight transport services from the terminal, to Idomeni, near the border with Macedonia and in the Thessaloniki region.
