EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from November 1886, Chinese authorities are seen admiring the first French railway in China, a Decauville line that connected Tientsin and Tsching-Yang. The Decauville line, a narrow-gauge railway, was a significant milestone in China's transportation history, marking the beginning of the railway era in the country. The railway, built by the Compagnie des chemins de fer du Nord de la Chine, was a 20-mile long line that ran from Tientsin, a major port city, to Tsching-Yang, a strategic military town. The line was constructed using Decauville's patented portable railway system, which was popular for its ease of assembly and disassembly, making it ideal for building temporary lines in remote or inaccessible areas. The Chinese authorities are seen in the photograph, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, observing the train with great interest. The train, pulled by a steam locomotive, is stationary, and its passengers have disembarked, allowing the authorities to inspect the machinery up close. The railway line is visible in the background, snaking through the landscape, with the rolling hills and lush greenery providing a picturesque backdrop. The construction of the Decauville line marked a turning point in China's transportation history, paving the way for the development of a more extensive railway network in the country. The railway not only facilitated the movement of goods and people but also played a crucial role in the modernization of China, bringing it closer to the rest of the world. This photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the first French railway in China and the curiosity and admiration it generated among the Chinese authorities. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on China's railway history and its connection to the world.
