Third Division of the Chinese Eastern Railway

The Third Division of the Chinese Eastern Railway was a section of the railway built in the early 20th century that connected parts of northeastern China (Manchuria) with Russia. It was part of the larger international railway network operated jointly by China, Russia, and later other powers. The division facilitated transportation of goods and passengers across this region, playing a strategic role in trade and regional development. Its construction and operation reflected the geopolitical interests of the time, impacting regional economics and international relations, particularly between China and Russia.
