Hi all I'm sorry, but yet again I'm boring you with another question. This one concerns the Haydarpasa Kars Dogu Express service. Apparently the train has been...
Steve, The "Dogu Ekspresi" timing looks almost identical to the journey I took in January of 2001. I am not sure what you mean by "massively re-timed". At that...
Derya Evocative pictures - never made the trip in winter - only fall (3 times), yes - usually late, and it's worth taking the train on to Akyaka at the end of...
Hi By massively re-timed I mean that I've seen a recent trip report that claims the Dogu now runs about eight hours later than the timings on the TCDD online...
Dogu leaves Haydarpasa at 08:35 daily, arrives Ankara at 17:25, Kayseri at 02:38 and Kars at 22:00 but that is going on like this for years. For info: ...

Hi all Just back from a weeks bash of Turkeys rail network. This report is a tad long winded, so apologies for that. Also as I begin to write this I'm on my...
Steve, Thanks for an awesome report. Glad you had a good time. I am also a member of a TCDD employee Google group. Couple of items: -Yes, the eastbound Baskent...
Steve; Thanks for this detailed message. It is really worth reading. Two issues to be confirmed: 1 - Yes, the train that had a collision with the lorry is...
Thanks Steve for this very good trip report. I only whish we get more of these reports. They are fun to read and usefull for other would-be travellers. Lets...
As Steve's report was so popular I've uploaded some I have written, some are Turkey only, some are general Balkan trips. All are in a folder in the files area...
Hi all Thanks for the encouraging comments, and the additional information. I was actually going to write a proper trip report, as what I sent to the group is...
I have uploaded a picture of a DE21 at Irmak in 1984, when I was there with TEFS steam tour group chasing the British Stanier 8F ("Churchill"). Unlike some...
Dear Gordon, Thank you for the General Electric DE 21 500 photo at Irmak. 39 out of 40 of these engines are withdrawn and the last one, DE 21 505, is waiting...
You know, it's odd, all documentation I've ever read about the DE21500's say General Electric, but these diesel have ALCO written all over them. GE used to be ...
... I have seen a photo of DE21505 and it has been damaged, the frame at the front is bent and I can't see it being repaired. Maybe it was planned to keep one...
Hi They are GE class U20C which was only built for export but they are a variant of the "U Boats" as they are called in the US. Malcolm Derya Ferendeci...
Derya said: "all documentation about the DE21500's say General Electric, but these diesel have ALCO written all over them." My understanding has always been...
DE 21 500's were originally purchased for freight in 1964-5. However when MAN MT 5 300's started giving up, they hauled many main passenger expresses composed...
Hi Nice report brought back happy memories - the "near misses" on crossings are far more common than people perhaps realise and from the front I saw many many...
Hi all As Malcolm said, Asit is the highest point on TCDD, but how high is it? Regards Steve Worthington [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
