The Valley Train site – Kfar Yehoshua

Located near Kfar Yehoshua in the heart of the Jezreel Valley, the Tel El-Shammam station stands as a testament to a bygone era. Surrounded by iconic eucalyptus trees and a row of striking historic stone buildings, it was once a vital stop along the legendary Valley Railway

This historic line was a branch of the Hejaz Railway, constructed at the turn of the 20th century by the Ottomans under German engineering supervision. Originally designed to transport Muslim pilgrims to Mecca, the railway continued to serve the region through the British Mandate and into the early years of the State of Israel

The “Valley Train” was much more than a means of transport; it was a cornerstone of progress, playing a monumental role in the development of the valley’s settlements, economy, and infrastructure
