Railways in Iraq

World events have focused attention on Iraq in recent years. There was very little information available on the web about the country’s rail network, so I put together some pages with various odds and ends.

The website is completely unofficial, and I’ve never been anywhere near Iraq myself, but hopefully it gives some information on railway matters there. More information is always welcome!
