Renkyō Line
The Renkyō Line (連京線; in Chinese Lianjing Line, ''Liánjīng Xiàn'') was the primary trunk line of the South Manchuria Railway from 1907 to 1945. The line ran between Dalian (Dairen) and Changchun (Xinjing). The rights to manage this railway line was one of the main concessions that Japan acquired from Russia after the Russo-Japanese War. It played an important role in Japan's control of Manchuria, as a key connection in traffic between east Asia and Europe and as a means of conveying resources mined inland to the coast. The line's importance to freight traffic decreased somewhat after the opening of the shorter North Chosen Line via the Korean port of Rajin.
