Hadiyyah Station: An abandoned locomotive, which used to run on the Hejaz Railway between Damascus and Makkah. Lawrence of Arabia and his band of Arab cadres sabotaged this Ottoman-controlled railway during the First World War. Sadly this engine has been tipped over to facilitate the looting of the rails and sleepers.
