The Veresk bridge (Varisk) is a bridge in Iran. It was constructed mostly by Austrians before World War II by leadership of an engineer named Walter Aigner, constructed during the reign of Reza Shah. It is located in the Veresk district of Savadkuh County, in Mazandaran province.
During World War II, it was known as the Pol-e Piroozi (The bridge of victory). The bridge stands at 110 m (360 ft) tall and its arch measures 66 m (217 ft) long. The bridge serves the Trans-Iranian Railway network in Northern Iran.
The Veresk bridge in Iran connects the railway between Tehran and the Caspian Sea region. It is located in Mazandaran’s Veresk district of Savad Kooh county, 85 kilometers south of Ghaemshahr and connects two of the mountains in the Abbas Abad region. The bridge is one of the masterpieces of the Danish engineering firm Kampsax, (consisting of mostly German and Austrian engineers) serving the Trans-Iranian Railway network in Northern Iran. The construction of this bridge included craftsmen of many nationalities, including many Italian. The Master Carpenter for the construction of the lumber concrete forms was Giacomo Di Marco, from the Friuli region of Italy, and detailed in the book he authored. It has been said after finishing the bridge, people had a fear that the train wouldn’t be able to pass the narrow bridge and that it would break. As a result, the engineer and his family stood under it when the first train passed the bridge (local accounts claim that Reza Shah had asked them to do so anyway).
Near the bridge is a memorial structure built in memory of all the construction workers who lost their lives in the course of building the Veresk Bridge and its nearby tunnels. The Chief Engineer, Austrian Walter Aigner, following his wishes, is buried in the local cemetery of Veresk. Under the bridge is an underground tunnel through which trains pass after crossing the bridge and gradually dropping altitude and before pulling into the train station. During World War II, it was known as the Pol-e-Piroozi, or the bridge of victory. During the course of the war, Reza Shah was asked by Hitler to blow up all tunnels and bridges, including the Veresk Bridge, on Iran’s railway lines in order to delay the transfer of goods and reinforcement troops to the north for the Russians. He furthermore promised to replace and reconstruct all of such demolished structures following the Germans’ victory in the war. Reza Shah rejected the request. Today trains connecting Tehran to Gorgan or Sari pass over this bridge an average of 4 times a day.

Railways of Iran - EMD Diesels Powering Thru Spectacular Landscapes South of Bisheh 2018
EMD Co-Co and Bo-Bo diesel locomotives built in early 1980's are still being used on the Islamic Republic of Iran Railways (IRIR) - Trans - Iranian Railway.
The EMD G22W Bo-Bo's were produced by the Duro Dakovic works in what was then Yugoslavia and supplied from 1982. The EMD G726W-2 and 2A locomotives came from GMD Canada and Hyundai, South Korea respectively from 1982 - 85.
The clips were taken on the Tehran - Khoramshahr Line around Chmasangar, Keshvar and Lazgireh south of Bisheh on the Far Rail Tour to Iran April 2018.
The last clip is a new DMU from Hyundai Rotem, South Korea. IRIR would like you to think that they built tem, but apart from screwing in the seats, they didn't do a lot. The video ends with a still of the Iran Runner - Siemens IR22 Bo-Bo from 2010.
