   • 1915, Robert P. Porter, Japan, the New World-power‎^[3], Oxford University Press, page 466:

     The reconstruction of the Tokyo-Shimonoseki section is of importance and ought to be done, not only because it forms a great artery of Japan, but also because it is the line which, when the Mukden-Antung standard-gauge railway is completed next November, will form part of the world’s railway highway, conveying passengers via Chosen and South Manchuria, with only 10 hours’ sea transportation, northward (Shimonoseki to Fusan) to Harbin, where the Siberian Railway is reached and the railway journey may be continued to Europe. Along this route the mails are now carried over the 2½ feet gauge mountain railway between Antung and Mukden, and thence to Harbin.

Lovett had told Acheson that from an operational standpoint he doubted whether the results to be achieved would be important enough to outweigh the danger of bombing Antung or other points on the Manchurian side of the river.

   • 1972, Jim Yoshida, Bill Hosokawa, The Two Worlds of Jim Yoshida‎^[6], New York: William & Company, Inc., page 78:

     The next stop after Seoul was Pyongyang, which the Japanese called Heijo, and suddenly we were into the increasingly more rugged mountains of northern Korea. Finally, at Antung, we crossed the ice-choked Yalu River on a long steel bridge into the vast, flat, brown valleys of Manchuria.
