Iraqi Train Yard from Helicopter View

I was in Iraq Nov 2007-Jan 2009. I was one of the last ones to leave my group. As we flew from the assigned area to Camp Liberty the pilots made several stops along the way. I caught glimpse of this and snapped away. Before I left, the Iraqis were getting the locos up for passenger and freight service. They purchase from other countries like Turkey. I wish I was able to have walked in the train depot.

I spoke to several Iraqi's that worked on base and they told me that is one of there main Admin offices and passenger terminal. They mix up the freight with it as well. At the time I took the pictures they were trying to start back up. Earlier in 2008 at another US base, the US Army was helping the locals get a few locos back on track.
