	Manchurian Incident. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		This view was confirmed when the Manchurian general Chang Hsüeh-liang, a recent convert to the Kuomintang, refused to halt construction of railway and harbor facilities in competition with the South Manchurian Railway, referring Japan to the Nationalist central government.
		When a bomb of unknown origin ripped the Japanese railway near Shenyang (then known as Mukden), the Japanese Kwantung army guarding the railway used the incident as a pretext to occupy S Manchuria (Sept., 1931).
		Despite Japanese cabinet opposition and a pledge before the League of Nations to withdraw to the railway zone, the army completed the occupation of Manchuria and proclaimed the puppet state of Manchukuo (Feb., 1932).

	Trans-Siberian Railway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Trans-Siberian Railway or Trans-Siberian Railroad (Транссибирская магистраль, Транссиб in Russian, or Transsibirskaya magistral', Transsib) is a network of railways connecting Moscow and European Russia with the Russian Far East provinces, Mongolia, China and the Sea of Japan.
		The railway was laid in 70 km to the South, thus deprived the city of the perspective transit traffic.
		Since Russia and Mongolia use broad gauge railways while China uses the standard gauge, there is a break-of-gauge, meaning that carriages to or from China cannot simply cross the border, and each carriage has to be lifted in turn to have its bogies changed.

		With the completion of the two end sections of the railway, the southern of 138 miles and the northern for a distance of 258 miles, a gap was left of 283 miles.
		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.
		Railway workshops are situated about twenty miles from Peking, on the main line, and these are fully equipped for all classes of repair work on locomotives and rolling stock.

	Mukden Incident - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mukden Incident of September 18, 1931, also called the Manchurian Incident, occurred in southern Manchuria when a section of railroad, owned by Japan's South Manchuria Railway, near Mukden (today's Shenyang) was blown up.
		The aim of Japanese junior officers in Manchuria was to provide a pretext that would justify Japanese military invasion and replace the Chinese government in the region with a Japanese or a puppet one.
		One was that the Kwantung Army had a strong reserve force that could be transported by railway from Korea, which was a Japanese colony, directly to Manchuria.

	League of Nations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Mukden Incident, also known as the "Manchurian Incident", the Japanese held control of the South Manchurian Railway in the Chinese region of Manchuria.
		They claimed that Chinese soldiers had sabotaged the railway, which was a major trade route between the two countries, on September 18, 1931.
		In fact, it is thought that the sabotage had been contrived by officers of the Japanese Kwantung army without the knowledge of government in Japan, in order to catalyse a full invasion of Manchuria.

		Colonialism and the Avant-Garde: Kitagawa Fuyuhiko's Manchurian Railway
		Moreover, the South Manchurian Railway was a centerpiece of Japanese colonial rhetoric about bringing "civilization" and "modernity" to her neighbors.
		Accordingly, the poet's view of the railway is from the inside: the predominant "ruin" and "pain to human beings" associated with the railway's expansion is located within the colonizing force itself, and not with those in the subjugated territory, which is represented as devoid of human life.

		It is for this reason that Japan claims the cession of the entire branch, all the more as this branch, having been constructed with the sole object of communication with Port Arthur, would lose its raison d'etre for Russia after the cession of the lease of the Liao-tung Peninsula to Japan.
		Moreover, the cession of the railway being of the same nature as that of this lease, it should, with the consent of the Chinese Government, be made directly to Japan.
		In reply to this point, the Plenipotentiaries of Russia explained that the South Manchurian Railway, though mentionned in the Convention of the 25th April, 1898, concerning the lease of Liao-tung, had nothing in common with the lease; that they were two entirely different questions; and that they should consequently be treated separately.
