News and information about railroads in Iraq
The Restoration & Archiving Trust‘s old colour photos of the standard gauge and now-defunct metre gauge railways in Iraq are now at a new address.
Well worth a browse.
Chris Curtis served in Iraq with the US infantry, and has sent me this photo of a short IRR train hauled by loco DEM2717 which he took “just south of Baghdad” in 2005.
The 50 locos in the DEM2700 class were built by Dalian Loco in China, and delivered to Iraqi Republic Railways from 2002.
The UK’s Defence Image database has a few pictures of railways in Iraq dated 26/11/03, which can be found if you search for railway. I can’t figure out if the copyright rules let me put them here or not, but try these links
