Arak–Qom High Speed Rail
Arak–Qom High Speed Rail is the second high-speed rail project in Iran which will has a junction with Tehran–Qom–Isfahan High Speed Rail at one of the stations in Qom province.[2] The Islamic Republic of Iran Railways signed a €1.2 billion deal with its Italian counterpart for establishing a high-speed railroad between the Iranian cities of Qom and Arak.[3] Iran decided to delegate the project to the Chinese following the withdrawal of an Italian firm due to US sanctions on Iran.[4] This new High Speed Line, part of the Iran National Railway Network, will be a double track passenger railway line and will have an operational speed of 300 km/h.[2]
