I have seen in couple of old maps dating 1938 and 1940 a projected metre gauge railway connection Lashio (Burma) with Kunming (Yunnan, China). It is known that the British even transfered from Singapore two steam locomotives to Lashio to be used on this railway building. Also Chinese started to extend the Haiphong - Hanoi - Kunming Railway toward Burma in 1938. Whas this a prelude before the project was abandoned after the Imperial Japanese Army occupied Northern French Indo-China ( Tonkin ) in September 1940? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.114.194.209 ( talk) 20:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
It's not clear from the article why WC was "chagrined" at having to reconquer Burma.-- Sreifa ( talk) 08:37, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
Though widely believed to be a part of the Burma Road, the photo on the upper left corner, the notorious "21 curves", is, in fact, not on the Road. The eastern terminal of the Burma Road is in Kunming, Yunnan province while the "21 curves" is in Guizhou province, which is in the east of Yunnan, and, thus, beyond the Burma Road.
