The train arrived in Song Than Station in Binh Duong in the early morning of August 14. The Hanoi Railway joint Stock Company transported the goods, which filled 11 coaches, for free.

Upon the train's arrival in Song Than Station, the goods were unloaded and handed over to HCM City (250 tonnes) and Binh Duong (50 tonnes).

The Vietnam Fatherland Front Committees of HCM City and Binh Duong coordinated with the militia and military forces to receive, transport and distribute the goods to the needy. The benefited people are those in quarantine and locked-downed areas, poor labourers, homeless people, workers losing their jobs, and disadvantaged people.
