The
Jerusalem Railway Station
c. 1900. The
locomotive
on the
turntable
is "Ramleh" (J&J No. 3), a
Baldwin
2-6-0
. The station was the terminus of the
Jaffa–Jerusalem railway
until its closure in 1998. Today, the station is abandoned and suffering from neglect and vandalism, although it is one of 110 buildings selected for preservation in
Jerusalem
.
