The IRR Northern line(Line number 1) is a railway of the Iraqi Republic Railways which runs from Rubaiye to Baghdad. Some major cities along the route are from north to south Mosul, Baiji, Tikrit and Samarra. The line is currently out of service except for the X kilometre long section from Baghdad to Taji, a northern suburb, which operates as a sporadic service. It also includes the first section of the Iraqi railway network from Baghdad to Samarra, spanning 123 kilometres. It was constructed under the Berlin-Baghdad railway project and many services, most famously the Taurus express ran along it from Istanbul's Haydarpasa Terminal to the now non existent Baghdad West Terminal, now incorporated into the International Terminal. Currently the railway is under renovation and reconstruction and it is planned to be fully double tracked, with some sections already done, such as the section south from Tikrit.
