Current Status
The former Palestine Railways are currently in three parts:
- Egypt: slowly being rebuilt by Egyptian National Railways.
- Palestinian Territories: in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, disused and mostly dismantled.
- Israel: operated by Israel Railways and being expanded.
The HBT Railway is mostly dismantled except for the short section between Haifa and Nahariya (nearby Az-Zeeb). This section has also been double tracked by Israel Railways.

“The censorship method ... is that of handing the job over to some frail and erring mortal man, and making him omnipotent on the assumption that his official status will make him infallible and omniscient.”
