- Many of the construction companies that appear in the web image are Swiss companies, the picture is actually taken at Thunstrasse 42 in Bern, Switzerland, and can be dated at least to 2023, and is not the so-called "recent violent demolition of the Central European Bank."
-The online statement is groundless, and there is no reliable source to support it at present. The Polish-Belarusian border continues to be closed due to military exercises between Russia and Belarus, affecting the normal operation of China-Europe freight trains. The latest news on September 23rd shows that China-Europe train operating companies are taking various measures to ease the pressure.
Event background
Recently, a picture circulated on domestic and international social platforms, allegedly "the scene of the violent demolition of the Central European railway on September 19, 2025", which has been widely disseminated, however, this claim clearly has many doubts.
The legendary web.
On September 18, Polish Interior and Executive Minister Marcin Kelvinski reiterated at a news conference that all border ports (including roads and railways) closed by Poland since September 12 will continue until “the safety of Polish citizens is fully guaranteed”.
Earlier, the Polish Ministry of Internal Affairs said that because Russia and Belarus began to hold large-scale joint military exercises "Zapad-2025", all roads and railway ports to Belarus were closed on the same day for national security reasons.

Where do the online pictures come from?
By searching back, it can be traced back to a full video released by TikTok in May 2024.
Clear version of the original video.
In the video, the excavator arm is clearly marked with “Eberhard”, which is actually Eberhard Unternehmungen AG (Eberhard) – a well-known Swiss construction and civil engineering company. The company frequently carries out projects across Switzerland, especially in urban renovations and demolition of old sites, involving projects such as railway demolition.

The yellow-black circular logo on the right side of the key frame in the second half of the video was captured and found that this is the icon of Marti Tunnel AG (Marti Tunnel AG) in Switzerland.
In addition, the red-and-white striped construction fence in the video is marked with the logo of a large Swiss construction company, Frutiger.

As a result, the Eberhard official searched the Internet for Marty Tunnel AG and Frutiger, whose collaboration projects are located in Switzerland, and most of the historical projects disclosed on the company's website were concentrated in Switzerland, and no projects were found in Poland.
In addition to the above-mentioned Swiss native companies, the network video also shows an iconic building with a red door window, the walls of Shanghai reporting resembling the ski resort of the town of Gstaad located in the Berne Highlands in Switzerland. Combined with keywords and image cross search, you can find a different angle video of the same scene published by netizens in April 2023, which shows a craft design company in Berne-Murray, Switzerland, Messerli Kommunikation, with the specific address Thunstrasse 42. The company's logo "Me" also coincides with the car painting appearing in the network video.
TikTok's 2023 video clearly shows a storefront.

From this, it can be seen that the site of the internet video was shot in Switzerland, and the time of the filming was 2023 or earlier, is not the so-called "Central European line dismantled" image.
The Central European ranks in Poland have been dismantled by violence?
As an iconic project of the "Belt and Road", the Central European Line is an important land cargo transportation channel connecting China and Europe, arriving through Russia and Belarus is Poland's Malacevic hub, and then distributed to more than 220 cities in 26 European countries.
The South China Morning Post reported on Sept. 17 that if the shutdown is short-lived, its impact will be limited. However, a prolonged closure could seriously disrupt the flow of goods, increase logistics costs and weaken Poland's position as a major transport hub.
However, there is no reliable report that “the Central European ranks have been violently removed.”
On September 22nd, Sichuan New Silk Road Multimodal Transport Co., Ltd., a logistics service provider that mainly operates China-Europe trains, released the Bilingual Weekly Report on the Operation of China-Europe trains (2025.09.16-2025.09.21), which pointed out that "there are good news from overseas agents recently, and the border port between Poland and Belarus may be opened this Tuesday (September 23rd) and Wednesday (September 24th), but Silk Road Tuoke has not received any official news. At present, there are more than 130 stranded trains in Brest.
First Finance on September 23 that China-European Ferries Operators have taken a number of measures, including suspending some of the trains, introducing an alternative to railway transportation via the western St. Petersburg in Russia, increasing the number of trains on the southern line of China-European Ferries, etc. The assistant general manager of New Silk Road Transportation Co., Ltd. said, “Everyone believes the border will not be closed for a long time.”

In summary, many of the construction companies that appear in the online media are Swiss companies, the picture is actually taken at Thunstrasse 42 in Bermuda, Switzerland, and can be dated back to at least 2023, not the so-called “Recent Central European Banners were violently dismantled” picture. The web legend is unfounded, and no reliable source is supported at the moment. Borneo border continues to be closed under the influence of Russian-Belarusian military exercises, affecting the normal operation of the Central European Banners.
