thumb There are articles using this image and they include an other image of the same bridge. Unfortunatly this is in Arabic script. What is the location and how is the bridge called?Smiley.toerist (talk) 10:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The usage in wp:fa suggests a location on the Turkish side of the Iran-Turkey border, near to the triple point with (independent) Azerbaijan. It is apparently the the largest bridge in the Middle East. -- Tuválkin 11:30, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like this bridge, on the Kopıköy-Razi border: 38°29′13″N 44°20′32″E / 38.486944°N 44.342222°E / 38.486944; 44.342222. -- Tuválkin 11:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Its on the Iranian side. Look at the panoramio picture. The correct category is Category:Ghotour Valley Bridge. Unfortunately this bridge is incorrecty put on the Category:Trans-Iranian Railway (look at the maps).Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:56, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Good finding! (I did come across the name "قطور" but it is romanized in so many ways I missed the category.) As for the categorization, it’s just a matter of fixing it — it’s a wiki, right? -- Tuválkin 14:37, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
✓ Fixed: new Category:Khoy-Rezi Railway. -- Tuválkin 15:03, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I can find Khoy, but Rezi is a place in Hungary. I take it you mean the borderstation Razi? The next junction with an other railway line is Soufian (No station but close to Tabriz). This is part of the Istanbul Theheran connection, but technically the line starts at the Van lake in Turkey where train have to take the boat. Beyond this it can be considered part of the Turkey - Iran - P±akistan railway connection. (with a gauge change at the Pakistan border).Smiley.toerist (talk) 18:01, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, you’re right, I was short on coffee. The junction is at 38°16′23″N 46°00′09″E / 38.2731°N 46.0026°E / 38.2731; 46.0026 — سهلان (en:Sahlan) station. Will correct the cat. name now. -- Tuválkin 19:25, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the geolocation of the bridge is rather 38°28′39″N 44°46′12″E / 38.4776°N 44.7699°E / 38.4776; 44.7699, not 38°27′46″N 44°38′27″E / 38.46278°N 44.64083°E / 38.46278; 44.64083 as given in Panoramio. (This discussion should be moved to Category talk:Ghotour Valley Bridge sooner or later.) -- Tuválkin 15:03, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
