The Temporary Military Railway Office (Japanese: 臨時軍用鐵道幹部, Rinji Gun'yō Tetsudōkanbu; Korean: 임시 군용 철도감부, Imsi Gunyong Cheoldoganbu), was a pseudo-corporate entity established by the Imperial Japanese Army to build and operate the Gyeongui Line railway from Gyeongseong (today: Seoul) to Sinuiju.[1]
It opened the second railway line on the Korean peninsula in April 1906, and was nationalised to create the National Railway in September of the same year.
