I recently got the opportunity to visit the train yard in Amman in an area literally called "the station" Al mahatta, which is home to the one of the stops on the hijaz railway line.
The Hejaz Railway also known as the "line of the faithful" ran from Damascus(Syria) to Medina(Saudi), through the Hejaz region of Arabia, with a branch line to Haifa(Palestine), on the Mediterranean Sea. It was a part of the Ottoman railway network and was built in order to extend the previously existing line between Istanbul and Damascus all the way to the holy city of Mecca, the whole purpose was to make it easier(and safer) for pilgrims to reach Mecca.
The line has fallen into deep disrepair and only operates once a week(Amman to Damascus)

According to well-documented traditions the Prophet Muhammad once came to the edge of Damascus accompanying a trading caravan owned by his wealthy merchant wife Khadija. The place where he stopped is still called Qadam, Arabic for ‘foot’, the last place he put his foot before refusing to go further. In his first glimpse of Damascus he said that if man could have but one paradise, he would have to give up the earthly paradise of Damascus in order to be able to enter the paradise of heaven.
