The national railway of Iran was built during the reign of Reza Shah Pahlavi. The launch of this huge project brought with it consequences; Part of these consequences is related to the presence of engineers, carpenters and foreign buildings for many years, and the other part is the result of the formation and operation of railway organizations. During the construction of the railway, several hundred engineers, builders, carpenters, etc. came to Iran from Europe and lived in Iran for several years. The remains of the church, the workers 'mausoleum, the telephone exchange and the engineers' residence building are part of the legacy of the founding of the railroad, in which European footprints can be seen. On the other hand, the changes that the construction of the railway made in the population and residential centers of northern Iran and caused the formation of cities and settlements. In addition, part of the railway structure, such as the Versailles Bridge, the Three Gold Lines and the Gaduk Tunnel, are so unique that today they can be considered as historical monuments. The purpose of this study is to look at the deteriorating condition of historical monuments left by the national railway of Iran. The method of this research is library reviews, archival documents, press reports and oral history. The research question is what are the remnants of the construction of the national railway of Iran that have heritage and historical value and what is their current situation.
