Baghdad Railway station

The current station building was built by the Baghdad Railway Company to replace the previous building, which was much less ambitious. The current building was done around 1912 and remained in its original state to this day.

MTA Station

Before the Baghdad Railway, the MTA use to have its terminal station on a different location, further south and better placed next to the main east-west road. However, extension eastward from this station was impossible and the Baghdad Railway had to abandon it when it acquired the MTA. The station was fully destroyed but the spur survived well into the 20th century and its location is still visible on maps.
