the rail line connecting Chung-ching (29-34N 106-32E and Kuei-yang
(26-35N 106-42E) has been completed and is now in use. Rolling stock
was observed in several railyards along the line.
Analysis of KH Mission reveals that the rail
line connecting Kuei-yang (26-35N 106-42E) and Kun-ming (25-04N 102-41E)
has been completed from Kun-ming northeastward for approximately 135 nautical
miles to 26-32N 104-19E and from Kuei-yang southwestward for approximately
70 nautical miles to 26-15N 105-35E. The remaining 95 nautical-mile

A recent review of revealed the
location of a probable engineer regiment approximately 13 nm east of
Nan-king (32-03N 119-04E). The following equipment was observed:
2 - GSP Heavy Amphibious Ferry Vehicles
4 - KKK Truck-Mounted Treadway Bridges
1 - Probable K-61 Tracked Amphibion
4 - Possible TMP Pontons
1 - Probable K-32 Crane
1 - Probable M-2 Tracked Prime Mover
2 - Lowbed Trailers
6 - Cargo Trucks
The sighting of the GSP and KMM in China in _ is significant
because both of these pieces of equipment were relatively new in the
Soviet inventory at that time.
A GSP ferry, which consists of two GSP vehicles, has a 50 metric-ton
capacity and is used extensively as a tank ferry.
25X1 C The KMM bridge is mounted on a special ZIL 151 truck and has a 20
metric-ton capacity, although with additional bracing the capacity can
be increased to approximately 40 metric tons. (SECRET NO FOREIGN DISSEM
A seismic event recorded on 26 December 1965 at approximately
52N 75E is believed associated with work on the Irtysh-Karaganda Canal.
This proposed irrigation project has been under construction for some
time, and its status has been previously reported (CIA/PIR-3009/65).
In that report it was determined that conventional explosives had been
used when resistant rock was encountered. The last photographic coverage
before the event, KH Mission revealed that
isolated segments of the route have been excavated westward to the Shiderty
River. Adjacent to one of the excavated segments was evidence Df
preparations for a blast in the form of evenly spaced drill holes where
explosive charges would be placed. Future coverage should reveal whether
these preparations were for the 26 December event. (TOP SECRET RUFF)
