the Jaffa to Jerusalem railway

British uniforms and this looks like standard gauge track.

Jaffa-Jerusalem railway at Battir in 1920.

The Jaffa–Jerusalem railway was built by a French company and inaugurated in 1892. The project was headed by Joseph Navon, a Jewish entrepreneur from Jerusalem  and the line is considered to be the first Middle Eastern railway.

The railway was originally built in 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge, later rebuilt to 1,050 mm (3 ft 5+11⁄32 in) and then to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge. The line was operated by the French, the Ottomans and after World War I, the British. After its closure in 1948, it was re-opened by Israel Railways in 1949 as the Tel Aviv – Jerusalem railway,  although since 2019 this designation is instead used to refer to the Tel Aviv–Jerusalem railway – an electrified dual-track railway line constructed during the 21st century that employs extensive bridging and tunneling along a faster, more direct route between the two cities.
