The line goes through Majma'a, Qassim, Hail and Al-Jouf along this north-south railway line. The second main line will start from Al-Jalamid mine which is located in the northeast in the Northern Territory, through Al-Jawf and Hail until arriving at the "AlBaithah railway junction" in the Qassim region.
