Abandon Train Station Al Qaim, Iraq

[TheReaper]

I am currently on an abandon train station in western Iraq. I have some pictures on my digital camera but a lot more on disposables. I have done some "exploring" around camp but it has all been gone through and most of the building are being used. There are some pretty cool trains and bays around though. Pretty interesting.

I'd like to see them, but not if it can get anybody into trouble, namely you! The military is a tad bit touchy about things as I'm sure you're aware. I have seen pictures of Saddam's gold and over half a billion in cash that he had, which I wouldn't have minded having!

Sounds cool, I love old trains, lets see the pictures.

I dont think I would get in much trouble. While I have a clearance, they dont let me see much of the "good" stuff. I have a lot of pictures where I climbed up a 105 ft tower and took some nice over views. I'll post them as soon as I can. This is my work computer and I'm not sure that it'll let me post from here but I will try.

My wife finally sent me my digital camera so I will be able to get more shots. I will go around tonight and tomorrow and take some shots of the trains and some newer ones of the camp as a whole. A lot has changed since we first got here! If they ever try to use this station again it's gonna cost a lot to repair some of the things to make it run. We have even torn out some of the track so we could make a "motor pool" where we park all of our trucks. Is there a website I can post them to and link it from?
