The branch of the Hijaz railway that linked Haifa to Zemach was known as the Emek Railway within the Jewish community in Israel. Over time, tales of the train's sluggishness (pun intended) have become a part of local folklore. One well-known story suggests that the train moved so slowly that passengers were able to disembark during the trip, gather flowers growing alongside the track, and re-board the train without it having traveled far.
The Turks constructed the bridge you're currently facing in 1904, and it was officially opened the following year. The structure spans over Issachar stream and comprises three arches constructed using a mix of black basalt stones and white limestones. This bridge is one of several crossings along the railway line. However, it was no longer in use after 1948, as the bridges over the Jordan and Yarmouch were destroyed during the War of Independence battles. The area of Naharim was also captured by the Jordanians, thereby blocking off the train's access to Zemach.
