    I'm looking at an older ISR train order. What they referred to as a "Down Line Clear Ticket." Trying to figure out what the departing and arriving station names were.

    Departing station is "KHR." Arriving is "TGH2." Anyone have an idea what/where? I could try matching on a map, if I knew the date. That part I cannot read.

    And no, for you NASCAR types "KHR" is not Kevin Harvick Racing.

    My initial guess is that KHR is Khorramshahr and TGH2 is one of multiple stations in Tehran. But as I cannot prove anything...

    Found this website that does show "Tehran 1" through "Tehran 9" as stations with trains coming into "Tehran 2" from "Kerman", "Mashhad", "Miyaneh", "Pishva", "Qom (Jamkaran)", "Shahriyar ( Parand )", "Tabriz", and "Zanjan"; here as it shows "Khorramshahr - Tehran" as a route generically. I will try to poke around so more as time allows...

    KHR is also an abbreviation for Khazar, which I believe is in Azerbaijan, so if there are links extending into nearby countries this is a possibility.
