  1. I have found this thread - forwarded to me by a friend - absolutely fascinating as I am writing a book on the history of Palestine Railways (which also operated the former Hedjaz railway lines in what became Palestine and Transjordan) - the washout on the Nablus line for example is well documented, it was caused partly by heavy floods sweeping trees and other debris to block the arches of a viaduct near Anebta until the pressure grew too strong and all was washed away. (1934 from memory but I must check) . Are the original photos still available? I am amazed that the son of a senior PR engineer could not be found a job in wartime when every one counted. Sad also that details of death and burial are unknown. Walter Rothschild, Rothschild-Berlin@t-online.de
