Iraq by train
After twenty years of non-service, a once-weekly passenger train has recently been put in service between Gaziantep in southeastern Turkey and Mosul, crossing a short strip of Syrian territory. It departs 9PM every Thursday from Gaziantep and arrives in Mosul 2PM next day, costing €25 pp. This is the only way of arriving in Iraq by rail for the time being. (Update, Aug 2010. Due to a request by Iraqi Railways, Gaziantep?Mosul service has been suspended until further notice. Website of Turkish State Railways still list the train?with a note that it is temporarily not in service?which means it is likely that the train will be back in service in the future.)
