Hejaz Railway Quiet Demise
by sabbah
Early last century, the biggest threat to the Hejaz Railway was Britain’s T.E. Lawrence and his camel-mounted Arab rebels, who sabotaged the desert track to attack trains packed with Turkish soldiers.
Today, a lack of passengers and improved highways may kill off the Hejaz Train once and for all, a quiet demise for a train that entered popular imagination thanks to Lawrence’s war exploits, later turned into the classic film “Lawrence of Arabia.”
