The flag of Manchurian Transport Vessels is yellow with two black serrated
lines. This is also according Flaggenbuch 1939. Adopted 22 October 1935.

Note: Flaggenbuch, 1939, [neu39] shows this flag having blue serrations. This is a reported error.

The Airline Timetable Images site presents the Manchurian Air Transport Co.
aka
Manchukuo National Airways - this page one shows an enlarged
brochure
showing the roundel in the national colours and the rudder
flag or flag
rudder!
Another link to a baggage (luggage) label page shows more flag motifs, including
the company arms
begging the question, was a company flag used alongside this flaggy shield?
More on this airline (1932-1945)
here - it seems to have been more paramilitary
than civilian.

The first Japanese penetration in Manchuria was through the railways of the
region that after the Russian-Japanese war of 1905 fall in hands of Japan
(Portsmouth Treaty). The South Manchurian Railway Co., a organization near under
government control, was created in April 1908 and adopted this flag.

A white flag with a red logo in the center, reminding superimposed latin letters M and I. Or a
winged I.

The South Manchuria Railway was once a politically important company.
What interests me for the moment is the logo, which seems to be composed of the initial 'M' and the silhouette of a rail.

I think in it is a stylized rail profile.
António Marints- Tuválkin, 28 June 2006
Its head office located in Dalian.
The white flag charged with a track and letter M
in red in the center.

Northern China Railway Co. was created in 1938 and was under Japanese
military control. The company adopted and used this flag.

White with a black logo centered, consisting of a thick ring and 4 bars coming from the ring's
upper half and poiting to the fly (or the right, in case this logo has to stay like this in both sides of the flag).
Jorge Candeias, 28 June 2006
I guess this represents an winged (railroad) wheel. Not unlike the Soviet Union/Russia
Transports Ministry emblem.
António Marints- Tuválkin, 28 June 2006
Its head office located in Beijing.
The white flag charged with a circle and four horizontal
lines in black.
