Jordan 24.9.2008: Shortly after leaving Amman station, the Hedjaz Railway passes through a curving valley that has, on one side, so far escaped from the city’s urban sprawl. With many birds of prey circling in the distance, Pacific No. 85 (Nippon/1953) brings its train past some ramshackle-looking livestock pens.
