I know nothing of a railway in Iran. The outbreak of WW1 was initiated by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand heir to the Austrian- Hungarian throne. He was shot in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a student, and member of The Black Hand, a Serbian Nationalist secret society. Following the assassination there quickly followed a domino effect in Europe as country after country was called upon to honour it's alliances. This is how and why each country was drawn in until the whole of Europe waws at war:-
Austria-Hungary's reaction to the death of their heir was three weeks in coming. It issued an ultimatum to Serbia, which demanded that the assassins be brought to justice. In order to protect itself, the Austria-Hungarian government sought assurances that Germany would come to her aid should Russia declare war on Austria-Hungary. Germany, itching to use its military muscle, readily agreed.
Things moved quickly thereafter. Austria-Hungary, unsatisfied with Serbia's response to her ultimatum declared war on Serbia on 28 July 1914. Russia, bound by treaty to Serbia, mobilized its vast army. Germany, allied to Austria-Hungary by treaty, viewed the Russian mobilization as an act of war against Austria-Hungary, and declared war on Russia on 1 August. France, bound by treaty to Russia, responded by announcing war against Germany and Austria-Hungary on 3 August. Germany promptly responded on 4 August by invading neutral Belgium to open a quick path to Paris. Britain, allied to Belgium declared war against Germany on 4 August. In just a little over a month all of Europe was at war.

Yes, is the short answer. In the sense that it's set in a pre-railway, rural, English County of Dorset. The themes, I expect are universal.
