www.internationalsteam.co.uk/trains/iran01.htm:
The 5½ mile / 8.7 km metre gauge line running southwards from Teheran (Horr Square, just south of the present-day railway station) to the Moslem shrine of Shah Abdul Azim el Rey (Shahr-e-Rey) was a Belgian project, operated by the Chemins de Fer et Tramways en Perse (CFTP) and opened in 1887 as the first railway in Persia. Its main purpose was to convey pilgrims to and from the shrine every Friday. The line was closed in 1961 (Iranian sources site 1963) due to road competition and the outdated equipment. There were five 0-6-0T locos, numbered 1 to 5 (Tubize No. 662-665/1887 & 1436/1905), locally called “Mashin Doodi”, meaning smoke machines.
A loco has been plinthed in Kosar Park in south central Teheran (northeast of the railway station), together with an open coach. It is said that it has been there since 1963. The old people being interviewed are former passengers of the train. |
