a. The Tungchin-Hulutao Line
This is the first line that radiates from this projected Manchurian
railway center, and is the shorter of the two direct lines that lead
to the ice-free ports on the Liaotung-Chihli Gulf. It runs almost
parallel to the South Manchurian Railway, the distance between the
two lines being about 80 miles at the northern end, converging to 40
miles at Sinmin, and diverging again after that point. According to
the original agreement with the former Russian Government, no parallel
line within 100 miles was allowed to be built. But such restriction
must be abolished under this new International Development Scheme for
the benefit of all concerned. This line starts from Tungchin, and
proceeds southward across the vast Manchurian plain by Changling,
Shuangshan, Liaoyuan, and Kangping, to Sinmin in a straight line
covering a distance of about 270 miles. After Sinmin, the line joins
the Peking-Mukden Railway and runs on the same track for a distance of
about 130 miles to Hulutao.
b. The Tungchin-Great Northern Port Line
This line is the second that radiates from this railway center direct
to a deep water ice-free seaport. It starts from Tungchin, proceeding
in a southwesterly direction, passes Kwangan, midway between Tungchin
and the West Liaoho, and many other small settlements before it crosses
the Liaoho. After crossing the Liaoho, it enters the mountainous
regions of the Jehol district by a valley to Fowsin, a hsien city, and
crosses the watershed into the Talingho Valley. After passing through
the Talingho Valley, the line crosses another watershed into the Luan
Valley by a branch of the same river. Then it penetrates the Great Wall
and proceeds to the Great Northern Port by way of Yungping and Loting.
The whole length of this line is about 550 miles, the first half of
which is on level land and the second half in mountainous country.
