Chemin de Fer de Hedjaz Syrie
The Chemin de Fer de Hedjaz Syrie (English: Syrian Hedjaz Railway) is a railway that owns and operates the 135.7 km long 1050mm narrow gauge line from Damascus to the Jordan/Syria border. The CFH operates former Hedjaz Railway tracks in Syria. The Hedjaz Jordan Railway takes over the line in Jordan. When the Ottoman Empire collapsed in 1920, the Hedjaz Railway, formerly under Ottoman control, was divided into 2 railways: the Hedjaz Jordan Railway (HJR) and the Chemin de Fer de Hedjaz Syrie (CFH). The CFH operates separate from the Syrian Railways (CFS).
