World's Most Curious Road in China Built by Chinese
A 1909 description of the Sunning railway in China notes it is built and financed by Chinese residents, predominantly Kwantung province stockholders. The line from Kung Yik port to Sunning spans 40 miles when completed, employs about 100 Chinese laborers, and runs three daily trips with trains taking two hours. The venture, led by Mr Chin, features local offices, telephones, and standard gauge track, with capital of 1,350,000 dollars and steady passenger and freight receipts amid ongoing construction and future infrastructure plans.
