Notes
It is noted from the previous studies that dealt with the Hejaz Railway line that no scholars were exposed to such an inscription written on the tracks, and that is why exposure to it is of great importance because it is published for the first time. Also, those interested in this subject in the study paid their attention to the economic, political, military, geographical aspects, and historical studies, and the interest was in locomotives, train cars, stops, and commemorative medals for the line. The scholars overlooked the historical text of the Hejaz Railway line, as this text dates the line. In a way that leaves no doubt that it was Sultan Abdul Hamid II who carried out this huge work and proved it through written texts such as the text under study, which was overlooked by previous studies. The study will study this text through form and content, then date this piece of rails and determine its location on the railway line, and determine the wisdom of implementing such a written text with this part of the iron rails. There was great interest in the Hejaz Railway, so the major countries paid great attention to this matter, especially England, which began to monitor this matter with interest. The Ottoman Empire, as a great power, was interested in establishing railway lines in its lands to facilitate the task of commercial and military exchange. The Ottoman Empire wanted to implement this Hejaz railway specifically to facilitate the mission of the pilgrim who spent nearly forty days from Anatolia until he reached Mecca and Medina, arriving after The line was built in just three days, which prompted people to donate heavily to build and complete this railway, from which the piece that we are about to study in this research was left behind.
