It was a military unit with civilian status hired by Kerensky's Provisional Government for duty along the Trans-Siberian Railroad. By the time the Russian Railway Service Corps (R.R.S.C.) arrived in Vladivostok, Lenin and the Bolsheviks had come to power and its services were no longer desired. The engineers initially pulled back to Nagasaki and returned to Vladivostok in 1919. The American troops were pulled out of Siberia in early 1920, although some civilian train experts did stay on until later. The last of the Czechs had been withdrawn by September. This left only the Japanese, who became stuck in the quagmire of a prolonged intervention until 1922, when forced to withdraw without having achieved their goals) (Image)
