This is the train station of Jomhour, one stop before mine (you bet ya it's mine!). Check out this water tower and the house. It is absolutely identical. (This is a great help, so the engineer will know what it is supposed to look like in restored state) 
Train station of Rayak. It is obviously a stream train, or the thing is on fire.Thanks Keireddine, this one was much appreciated. More stuff here and here:)

Thank you, Sietske.
I am Kheireddine, I left Lebanon 17 years ago to Canada, I am coming from a prominent Lebanese family, my grand father was PM in the 30's, he drove the locomotive between Beirut & Zahleh in WWI to escape conscription in the Ottoman army and that is how he met my grand mother, a Christian from Zahleh. I saw the train crossing Dahr El Baidar before the war when I had your daughter's age and yes, it was still a steam train.
"my grand father was PM in the 30's"
the late kheireddine el-ahdab ?
Yes
I am so grateful for these photos, Kheireddine, thank you.
