VOICED: Iraqi pilgrims brave the railways

The video discusses the reopening of the train route between Baghdad and Samarra, which had been closed since 2006 due to sectarian violence. With improved security, Shiite pilgrims are now able to safely visit holy sites. The train service resumed in December, and passengers are optimistic about future improvements and expansions, including potential international routes. Railway authorities are cautiously planning new connections, such as between Baghdad and Mosul.
