Sakhalin Railway ((ロシア語:Сахалинская железная дорога)) was a subsidiary of the Russian Railways from 1992 until 2010, when it was made part of the Far Eastern Railway. ==History== The Treaty of Portsmouth following the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-05 placed the northern half of Sakhalin under the control of the Russian Empire, whilst the southern half (Karafuto) was under control of Japan. On the Japanese half of the island, a 42.5 km long railway was built from Korsakov () to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (), with a gauge of . This section was later converted to the usual Japanese railway gauge of . In 1911, a 53.9 km branch was built from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Starodubskoye (''Sakaehama''). Between 1918 and 1921, the towns of Nevelsk (), Kholmsk (), Chekhov () and Tomari () were also connected to the network. The Japanese railway network consisted of the Western Karafuto Railway from Naihoro (Gornozavodsk) to Tomarioru, and the Eastern Karafuto Railways from Otomari to Koton (Pobedino) until 1944. Its total length was over 700 km. After the Second World War, control of the whole of the island passed to the Soviet Union, including the island's complete rail network and rolling stock. Wagons from the Soviet railways were re-gauged for use on the island. The locomotive factory in Lyudinovo produced diesel locomotives of the models TG16 and TG21 specifically for use on the island's narrow gauge network. The Soviet era saw the network extended into the north of the island, with a total extent in 1992 of 1,072 km. By 2006, little-used sections such as Dachnoye-Aniva and Dolinsk-Starodubskoye had been closed, but the network still had a total length of 805 km. In 1992, the Sakhalin Railway was split from the Far Eastern Railway and made its own administrative entity. It reverted to being part of the Far Eastern Railway in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sakhalin Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
