The Haifa–Tel Aviv main line is ISR’s most important passenger route, carrying thousands of passengers between the two cities, although rarely behind two GM diesels up front. For a country so small as Israel, this is a considerable achievement. Newer GEC locomotives and coaches are now replacing ISR’s ageing fleet of GM GP-12 diesels.
