Hejaz Railway was a
narrow gauge railway (1,050 mm / 3 ft 5+11⁄32 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. The line was and was planned to extend from the
Haydarpaşa Terminal in
Kadikoy beyond Damascus to the holy city of
Mecca. However, due to the interruption of the construction works caused by the outbreak of
World War I, it got no further than Medina, 400 kilometres (250 mi) short of Mecca The length of the line from Damascus to Medina was 1,300 kilometres (810 mi).
