On 26 October, 2009 the first intermodal train Vilnius Shuttle was released. The project was iniciated by Lithuanian Railways and INTERMODAL CONTAINER SERVICE companies. Container train Vilnius Shuttle provides services for local market and was recognized as the best project of the year 2009 by Logistics Companies Association. It signifies savings of labor costs and protection of the environment.
