The main aim of the article is to prove the significance of efforts of PKP for value added generation in Poland associated to rail freight between China and the EU. The main rail freight routes and their viable alternatives were characterised. The importance of Chinese subsidies for rail freight connections with European location was highlighted. Logistical services provided by the PKP railway carriers and reloading firms were described. The engagement of PKP entities in influential initiatives organising or promoting Asia-Europe rail freight was shown. The impact of major infrastructural undertakings and commercial projects carried out by PKP companies on benefits generated by Silk Road railway carriages for the Polish economy was explained. The conditionings and development constraints for container block trains transit through Poland were discussed. The essay touches also the issue of attractiveness of Poland for investments in logistical hubs with railway access dedicated to distribution/consolidation of products from/to China. The presented opinions were concluded based on authors' expert knowledge and findings from the review of literature and internal materials of the PKP Group.
