Railway line in Republic of China

Peking–Mukden Railway (Chinese: 北京-奉天铁路; pinyin: Běijīng – Fèngtiān Tiělù) was a 19th-century steam powered trunkline connecting Peking (Beijing) and Mukden (former name of Shenyang) through Tianjin, northeastern Hebei, and southwestern Liaoning; it was a crucial railway in North China and Northeast China. The history of the railway can date back to Kaiping Tramway (often known as Tangshan–Xugezhuang Railway in Chinese) completed in 1881, which became PMR after several extensions in the next 31 years.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
