Goats, pigs, ducks… on a train? Inside China's most unexpected railway #coolchina

Goats, pigs, ducks…on a train? China's public welfare trains may not have the speed or shine of their high-speed counterparts, but they serve a very important role: connecting villages to cities, offering farmers, livestock owners, and many others direct access to markets in urban centers. Passengers bring their livestock or farm produce to the market on these trains, paying ticket prices that are sometimes as low as 2 yuan ($0.30). CGTN's Bhargab Sarmah explains how, even as China's high-speed rail network takes massive strides, its public welfare trains ensure no one is left behind in the country's development journey.
