SUI-FEN-HO, CHINA AND GRODEKOVO, USSR
RA LROAD TRANSLOADING YARDS
Sui-fen-ho, China and Grodekovo, USSR railroad transloading
yards are located approximately 13 miles apart on the railroad which
crosses the China-USSR border approximately 100 miles north-north-
west of Vladivostok, USSR. . Sui-fen-ho is the eastern terminus of the
main northern Manchuria east-west rail line. Grodekovo is the western
terxxxi s of a rail line which branches from the main Vladivostok- -
Khabarovsk railroad.
The Sui-fen-ho transloading yard is 2700 feet long and 20-25 tracks
wide. No cranes, loading platforms, or other transloading facilities
are apparent. Approximately 60 miscellaneous rail cars are visible
but types and sizes cannot be discerned on this photography. Approx-
imately 200 miscellaneous cars and a steam locomotive are visible in a
holding yard, 2000 feet long and 6-8 tracks wide, located just south of
the transloading yard. A smaller yard, 1500 feet long and 9-10 tracks
wide, is adjacent to the railroad repair shops at the northern end of the
transloading yard.

The Grodekovo transloading yard, 4000 feet long and 12-14 tracks
w-ide, contains approximately 200 miscellaneous freight and 50 passenger
cars. L. the center of the yard opposite the railroad station are 6 to 8
tracks adjoining some small warehouses or transfer sheds. This is prob-
ably where bulk freight transfer betweem gages occurs. There are no
cranes or other unloading equipment visible at this site. At the edge of the
yard behind a 320 foot warehouse are several short spurs upon which are.
four possible locomotive cranes.
South of the main transloading yard is a 1450 foot long elevated track
upo::! which are a nine possible tank cars. This facility is probably used for
gravity flow of petroleum products from Russian to Chinese gage cars.
Approximately 25 other cars and a locomotive are scattered throughout the
area..
An open storage area 200 feet by 900 feet is served by two spur lines north
,of the railyard and another smaller storage area 200 feet by 200 feet is located
it the turning wye. . -~. A

Along the 13.5 mile rail line between Sui-fen-ho and Grodekovo are five
tunz--els. The three tu_ tiels in China are 255, 330, and 620 feet long and the
two in the USSR are 220 and 365 feet long.
The major components of the rail transloading yards are described on
foliowi-:g pages and annotated on accompanying photographs._
