Steam LocomotiveThe Hejaz Railway was a 1,320 km narrow-gauge line
built by the Ottoman Empire between 1900 and 1908 to connect Damascus to Medina, primarily to facilitate the Hajj pilgrimage and strengthen military control over Arabia. Initiated by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, it bypassed the Suez Canal, reducing travel time significantly but was largely destroyed during WWI.Wadi Rum Station, Jordan, January 23, 20262026-01-23#5964Larry L.
