The smoky car of Tehranis at the gate of Khorasan (+photo)

The smoke machine that connected Tehran to Shah Abd al-Azim was one of the special events in the capital of the Qajar period. This vehicle was very strange and made a lot of noise.

Among the historical photos of Antoine Sorogin’s album, there is a photo of a smoke car at the gate of Khorasan.

This photo has historical value due to its details and showing the residents and locomotives. In these pictures, the residents of the city can be recognized in different wagons.
