Article: Precision down to the millimeter to Zittau: DB Cargo Polska masters special transport of 120-meter rails
Cross-border transport on an unusual route: rail delivery to Saxony without a regular rail connection.
No direct rail connection, no standard solution – but a strong community: DB Cargo Polska successfully completed a challenging transport project for MORIS steel and rail in July 2025. The task: to deliver 120-meter-long rails from Chorzów in Poland to Zittau in Saxony. The challenge: At the time of transport, the modernized section of Polish line 346 was not connected to any other railway line in Poland.
What seemed like a logistically impossible task became reality thanks to precise planning and close international cooperation: the route ran through German territory—and back—making this extraordinary transport possible. The close cooperation between DB Cargo companies on both sides of the border was crucial. The rails were loaded onto freight wagons and transported across the border to the construction site.
DB Cargo Polska demonstrates that logistical challenges can be successfully overcome with creativity, experience, and international cooperation. Work on Line 346 is in full swing, and DB Cargo is ready for further transports to this demanding construction site.
