A subsidiary of the South Manchuria Railway with its headquarters in Beijing, it was established in 1938 to manage railways and busses in the area of northern China occupied by Japan during the Sino-Japanese War. It was liquidated in 1945 following Japan's defeat in the Pacific War. It employed 110,000 people, of which 70% were Chinese.

Services

Observation car formerly used on the Tairiku Express, now preserved at the Beijing Railway Museum.

The North China Transportation Company ran a number of long-distance trains, both within China and in conjunction with the South Manchuria Railway and the Chosen Government Railway. Notable trains include the "Tairiku" ("Continental") and "Kōa" limited express trains between Beijing and Busan, Korea. The "Tairiku" entered service in 1938, making the trip from Busan to Beijing in 37.5 hours in 1940; the train was discontinued in 1944. The observation car used on this train is preserved at the Beijing Railway Museum. The "Kōa" was put into operation in 1939, making the same trip in 39.5 hours in 1940, but by 1945 the trip took 49 hours. The "Kōa" was discontinued after the Japanese defeat in the Pacific War.
