Landmark electric train rolls off assembly line

The first of six passenger trains ordered by Macedonia has been completed at a plant operated by a subsidiary of China Railway Rolling Stock Corp at Zhuzhou, Hunan province.

It is set to become the first electric multiple unit train to be exported from China to Europe and will help the Balkan country to modernize its antiquated rolling stock.

The train, painted red and yellow after Macedonia's national flag, was manufactured by Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive.
