Jordan 20.9.2008: The Hedjaz Railway is of course, most famous for its desert sections, but to be honest, there is a paucity of photo opportunities in what is largely a featureless landscape. Here though are some accompaniments to 2-8-2 No. 23 (RSH 7433/1952), gently descending a long grade over a small culvert, while some sparse scrub and a Bedouin’s tent and livestock add distant focus.
