Geocache Description:


The Jezreel Valley railway, or the Valley Train (Hebrew: רַכֶּבֶת הָעֵמֶק, Rakevet HaEmek) was a railroad that existed in Ottoman and British Palestine. It runs from the Mediterranean coast inland along the length of the Jezreel Valley. The historical line was a segment of the longer Haifa–Dera'a Line, which was itself a branch of the larger Hejaz railway.

Despite several renewal attempts, the line lay dismantled for decades until 2011 when construction started on a new railway from Haifa to Beit She'an along roughly the same route as the historic valley railway. Israel Railways began passenger service on the new valley railway on October 16, 2016.

This station (Yagur Station) was built in the 1920s to serve the residents of Kibbutz Yagur. 

The GeoCache is hidden somewhere on the train car.
