Israeli-Palestinian Railways
Certain sources show more train stations at:
- Nevatim (31°13′0.12″N 34°52′34.48″E / 31.2167°N 34.8762444°E),
- Dvir (31°24′52.94″N 34°47′38.95″E / 31.4147056°N 34.7941528°E),
- Nuseirat (31°27′26.00″N 34°24′31.12″E / 31.4572222°N 34.4086444°E),
- Zarnuqa (31°52′32.19″N 34°45′48.99″E / 31.8756083°N 34.7636083°E),
- Tirat al-Lawz (32°45′25.02″N 34°57′33.28″E / 32.75695°N 34.9592444°E),
- Kabara (32°34′17.27″N 34°56′8.87″E / 32.5714639°N 34.9357972°E),
- and a few east of Haifa.
I could not find a secondary source, and so they have been left out. There might also have been a Haifa-Wadi Rushmiya line. The station at Birein was probably more of a simple water refilling stop; this is possibly the same for other former stops in the Negev.
The J'slm - El Bireh line was a military railway built by the British in 1918 to supply the war front North of Jerusalem. Very little information is available on it, and so its path is very hypothetical; this is also true for other lines (mostly in the Negev).
Names: I tried to put former names where possible (space permitting). A plethora of translations, transliterations, and transcriptions exist when romanising Hebrew and Arabic station names. Since this map is in English, I have preferred the name that appeared the most "English" in my eyes. For clarity, a hyphen "-" is used to separate the town name from a qualifier.
