汉志铁路遗迹

汉志铁路(土耳其语:Hicaz Demiryolu),奥斯曼帝国苏丹兼哈里发阿卜杜勒·哈米德二世下令修建的一条铁路,起自大马士革,终点至汉志首府麦地那,中途包括一条通往海法的支线,总长1,300公里。原设计终点为麦地那以南400公里的麦加,并在将来向南延伸到也门的萨那。

汉志铁路的轨距为1,050毫米,属于单线窄轨铁路。

根据奥斯曼帝国的官方说法,修建汉志铁路的目的是为了方便全世界穆斯林去麦加朝觐,但该铁路的军事意义比宗教意义更为重要(防止阿拉伯人独立)。在其300万土耳其镑的建造经费中,有三分之一来自各国穆斯林的捐款。但是实际上德国人为这条铁路提供了工程设计和指导,他们希望通过这条铁路将德国的影响力渗透到汉志和也门地区。这与同时期德国计划修建的三B铁路(柏林至巴格达)属于同一目的。由于这一因素的影响,汉志铁路的修建遭到了英国及汉志地方封建贵族的阻挠。1908年9月1日,铁路修至麦地那,后续工作被迫终止。1913年,在大马士革修建了汉志铁路的终点站——汉志车站。

Hejaz Railway 汉志铁路

SLM in Switzerland built a class of ten 2-8-0 locomotives for the Hejaz Railway in 1912. They were originally numbered 87–96, later 150–159. Several were captured in 1918 by British and Empire forces or transferred in 1927 to Palestine Railways, which had taken over the Hejaz Railway's Jezreel Valley branch in 1920. 153 (formerly 90) was transferred in 1927 and is pictured on the Jezreel Valley railway in 1946.

The Hejaz (or Hedjaz) Railway (Turkish:Hicaz Demiryolu) was a narrow gauge railway (1,050 mm/3 ft 5 32 in track gauge) that ran from Damascus to Medina, through the Hejaz region of Saudi Arabia, with a branch line to Haifa on the Mediterranean Sea. It was a part of the Ottoman railway network and was built to extend the line from the Haydarpaşa Terminal in Istanbul beyond Damascus to the holy city of Mecca. It got no further than Medina, 400 kilometres (250 mi) short of Mecca, due to the interruption of the construction works caused by the outbreak of World War I. Damascus to Medina is 1,300 kilometres (810 mi).
