Manchuria - Russian and Japanese trains in the Station at Changchun, the first station of the Japanese South Manchuria Railway, during the period of Japanese occupation of Manchuria after the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05. A special Russo-Japanese agreement of 1907 provided that Russian gauge tracks would continue from the 'Russian' Kuancheng Station to the 'Japanese' Changchun Station, and vice versa, tracks on the 'gauge adapted by the South Manchuria Railway' (i.e. the standard gauge) would continue from the Changchun Station to the Kuancheng Station !!!
