  1. not only has Iran built a new stretch of track for those old locomotives, but Iranian technology furnished all the little bits of crushed rock that line the roadbed.


    nobody in the West can help but be awed at these great marvels of 19th century engineering!!!

    once again, Pyruz helps demonstrate that super-powerful Iran has railways as well as paved roads, tunnels and shopping malls and photographic equipment to record all these wonders.
