Activity within these two complexes appears to be limited - probably
due to a medium snowfall throughout the area. Travel between the two
countries appears to be limited both by road and rail routes. A train is
observed on the photography at the border checkpoint between the two towns.
Approximately 15 cars and an engine are in the train - movement appears to
be toward the town of Manchu-Li.
