Jordan 24.9.2008: A further water stop was made at Samra, this being the only occasion that a road tanker had to be employed. The stop provided a necessary path on the single line ahead for the little petrol-engined “scooter” seen at right, to return from making a reconnaissance of the route through to the Jordan/Syria border, just to ensure that the track was in fact, still there! Though appearing derelict, Samra station was in use still, with the ground floor housing the office controlling the block-sections in each direction.
