Other important stops are Sükhbaatar, Darkhan, Choir, and Zamyn-Üüd/Erenhot (border crossing and gauge-changing station). The line was built between 1949 and 1961. In most of Mongolia, it is single track, and in China double track. The gauge is in Russia and Mongolia and in China. There are important branches leading to Erdenet and Baganuur. == History == Railway development came late to Mongolia. Construction of the Trans-Mongolian line began in 1947, reaching Ulan Bator from the north in 1950 and the Chinese border in 1955. Before that the only railways in Mongolia had been a line (opened in 1938) connecting the coal mines at Nalaikh to the capital and a Soviet-built freight-only branch (completed in 1939) from Borzya on the Trans-Siberian Railway to Bayantümen, Dornod near Choibalsan in north-eastern Mongolia.〔(Mongolia - Tourism )〕 Russian Irkutsk State University of Railway Engineering opened its Ulaanbaatar branch in June 2009.〔Planned students number is 50, and in main University of Railway Engineering in Irkutsk are about 100 Mongolian students ()〕 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「Trans-Mongolian Railway」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
