It may run either from Shan Hai Kuan due cast to the part of Newchwang, thence north-cast vis L'eoyang and Moukden, or after leaving Shan Hal Kuan, proceed in a north-easterly direction, following the Imperial road, via Chinchow, Kuangning, Hsia-min-t'on, and Moukden, with a junction near the latter place for the New- chwang and Moukden branch.
