report about the prospect of revitalizing the Hejaz Railway.
The Islamic Cooperation Organization's Permanent Committee on
Economic and Commercial Cooperation (İSEDAK) has met in Amman,
Jordan, to take up the matter of restoring the Hejaz Railway that was
built by the Ottomans during the reign of Sultan Abdülhamid II in
the first years of the 20th century.
Officials from Turkey's Transportation Ministry and Turkish Railways
(TCDD) discussed the matter with Jordan's Hejaz Railway Director
Salah el-Levzi, with the idea of converting the current touristic icon
to a working railway. Levzi noted that Jordan needs faster and cheaper
rail capability, so restoring the Hejaz Railway fits in with this goal.
