	Railway Technology - Kowloon-Canton Railway Upgrading Operated by KCR Freight
		A single track railway opened in 1910 from the Lo Wu border crossing to Kowloon, the link with Canton (since re-designated Guangzhou) creating a title that was adopted by the public body constituted in 1982, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (KCRC).
		KCR West Rail is a 30.5km heavy rail mass transit system between urban Kowloon and the New North West Territories.
		The KCR as an organisational entity is likely to be lost under a merger favoured by the Hong Kong government, whereby the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), would become the operator of KCR assets.

	Travelling By Train in China
		Canton is one of the most populous cities in Southern China, and hundreds of thousands of its inhabitants live in native boats or sampans that cover the river - the largest floating population in the world.
		The whole of the land in the railway zone is closely cultivated, but probably one-tenth of the area is given up to ancestral tombs, which undoubtedly are the cause of many unexpected deviations in the lay-out of the track, since these graves may not in any circumstance be moved or interfered with in any way.
		The railway was finished after the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-5, when the Japanese military railway between Hsinmintun and Mukden was bought by the Chinese, and rebuilt to standard gauge.
