The South Manchuria Railway Company was a company
founded by
Japan in
1906, after the
Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905),
and operated in Japanese-occupied
Manchuria. From 1906 or
1910 until
1925, the company also operated the

railway system.
The company developed
soy beans and mineral resources and brought them to Japan partly by
its railway. It also built hotels, schools, libraries, etc., for Japanese
immigrants. It closed by order of
GHQ, and was occupied by the
Soviet army in
1945.
