Railway workers collected the flowers and reverently arranged them on an embankment beside the track...
...after Lawrence & Co. In Riyadh next week, government representatives from Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia will sign a $28 million contract with a British consortium-Alderton Construction Co., Ltd. and Martin Cowley, Ltd.-to renovate the German-designed railroad.
