Wadi Rum Railway Station Jordan

At the beginning of the 20th century the Ottoman's built the Hejaz railway connecting Damascus to Medina. The station is modelled on authentic railway stations and is home to a restored Ottoman locomotive which takes tourists on a journey back to 1916 in the Arab Revolt and a re-enactment of the attack on the train as portrayed in the film 'Lawrence of Arabia'.
