New railroad on photography 2. On the observed running construction was observed at two separate areas in South China (Figure 1) miles (nm) of rail line construction was south to 29-37-00N 111-27-00E where 55 nautical 111-31-00E photography, from Chih-chiang at 30-17-00N it turned west and terminated at 29-35-00N 111-17-00E (Figure 2). This westward turn leads directly into the Wu-shan Mountains. The previously projected rail line from Chih-chiang to Lou-ti would have gone across relatively flat terrain.* 25X1 3. The photography revealed 46 nm of new rail line construction extending from Liu-chou at 24-25-00N 109-11-00E north to at least 25-21-00N 109-25-00E (Figure 3). Heavy clouds precluded further interpretation. This new line may possibly join the rail line currently under construction between Kuei-ting (26-34-00N 107-14-00E) and Chih-chiang (27-27-00N 109-41-00E). 25X1 *CIA.
