A first and very enjoyable trip to Israel for me, based on the PTG Tours' "Railways of Israel" Enthusiast tour in March and April 2022. I was able to travel over all the available passenger lines in Israel, and most of the freight-only lines.
See trip report for the full itinerary, traction details and notes.

For the days using scheduled service trains, the tour participants used the local smart card "Rav Kav" tickets, loaded with relevant all-line or local day tickets and paid for by PTG as part of the package.
NOTE: there is inconsistency in the 'transliteration' between Hebrew and English for many place names in Israel. Names adopted in this gallery generally correspond to those in official Israel Railways documentation.
