RAIL SPUR CONSTRUCTION, HUNAN AND
KIANGSI PROVINCES, CHINA
1. Two major rail spurs off the
Chu-chou to Nan-chang rail line were
observed under construction on photogra-
25X1 phy
2. Roadbed and grading for the
easternmost spur (in Kiangsi Province)
originate at 27-47-OON 114-42-35E, 3
nautical miles (nm) east-southeast of
Fen-i, and extend generally south for
approximately 80 nm, to 26-57-OON
113-58-15E. When this rail spur was
,,25X1 first observed on Iy a
few miles of r E I
con-
struction. Since then, however, the
roadbed has been extended to just north
of San-wan, and approximately 30 nm of
track has been laid. The completed
section of rail extends from Fen-i, to
a point 6 nm south of An-fu, at
27-17-30N 114-36-OOE, where some proba-
ble rail construction equipment was also
observed. Two rail yards were also
observed along this rail spur, one under
construction just north of Yung-hsin
and another, containing some rolling
stock, at An-fu.
3. The other rail spur (in Hunan
Province) originates at 27-39-35N
113-31-10E, just east of Li-ling. This
line consists of roadbed and grading
and extends in a generally southern
direction for approximately 70 nm,
terminating at 26-52-50N 113-35-OOE,
5 nm north of Cha-ling. No activi-';y
was observed at the origin at the rail

4. There is a 30-nm gap between
the two termination points with no
apparent linkup visible. Activity at
the ends of each spur appears to be
mining.
