To see more of ISR’s freight trains, one should head for the Negev desert and the freight-only line to Dimona and Oron. On the cold morning of the 03 January 1995, a freight train is approaching Dimona station with a full load of phosphates from the Tzin mines. It is a mighty climb from the desert to Beersheba, hence the class 600 diesel.
