Baghdad Metro

The Baghdad Metro is a surface commuter train that operates in the Iraqi city of Baghdad. It is operated by the state owned Iraqi Republic Railways. It resumed operation in October, 2008. The train runs about 24 kilometres (15 mi) between Baghdad Central Station and the southern neighborhood of Dora. It operates two round trips a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. The Baghdad Metro and the passenger train that runs between Baghdad and Basra, which resumed service in 2007, were the first two regular passenger services to resume in Iraq since the Iraq War.

The Baghdad Metro's rolling stock entered service in 1983.

In February 2009 Iraqi Republic Railways introduced a passenger service between Baghdad and Falluja. IRR intends in future to extend the service to Al Ramadi.
