Aqaba Railroad Corporation

In 1998 while I was General Manager of the Louisiana & Delta Railroad, GWI, which owned LDRR, teamed up with Bechtel to consider a bid to operate and expand the Aqaba Railroad Corporation, owned by the Jordanian government. I was asked to be the lead person evaluating ARC for GWI. We made two trips to Jordan, April and June 1998 for the evaluation and bidding phases. Although we were selected to be among the three finalists, GWI elected to back out of the bidding.

These images are from my two trips to observe and inspect ARC. I will be adding new images as time goes on.
