Video of a train going down a circular track in a water body is being shared on social media, claiming that it is a marvellous feat of engineering from Israel.
The video is shared with a caption: An amazing example of engineering skills. The rail track in Israel covers a distance of 1,280 km from Urpara to Begun Jarra with logistic material. It passes over 13 such pyramids. It has 62 compartments and four engines.

FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the post, and found it to be false.
While examining the video, we noticed a watermark saying ‘Daffa Railfans ID‘ along with a small logo of YouTube at the bottom. To our surprise, multiple videos in a similar format have been uploaded by this channel over time.
We found that the particular video that is being circulated on social media was posted on this YouTube channel on November 29, 2021.
In the About Us section, it is also mentioned that all these are simulation videos of a 2019 game.
With a link to the game ‘Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019‘ in the video descriptions, we located similar videos of the game uploaded by other YouTube channels.
In February 2021, NewsMobile debunked another simulation video of the game which was being shared with a false claim that it was a ‘Floating train in China’.

Based on the above information, we can conclude that the viral post is a simulation video, and NOT real.
