Remains Of The Hejaz Railway

The rusting remains of a narrow gauge steam locomotive and trucks on rails in a siding of the Ottoman Empire era Hejaz Railway at the abandoned Hadiya Station close to the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia in February 1989. The Hejaz Railway, which originally ran from Damascus in Syria to Medina in Saudi Arabia, opened in 1908 and closed to traffic in 1920. (Photo by Peter Jordan/Popperfoto via Getty Images)
