Hi all, We visited the new depot in Bicerova-Izmir last week with Dr. Acar, Mr Erdal (TCDD staff, Ulukent Station chief) and myself. 56548 nr steam loco was...
Orhan Hocam, Thanks for this piece of information. By the way, TCDD web site says that the train services further south of Torbali were suspended due to...
Maybe eternally unfortunately. At last the railways began collapsing completely and the target of eliminating the railways is being reached. Alas! ... From:...
Actually we are in favour of this arrears of maintenance. No pessimism Osman hoca. :) Orhan Berent ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
This is fantastic news. Lets hope that the restored loco will work properly and be stored inside this time! At least 56548 can be used on Izmir suburb service...
The TCDD dudes were quite happy reporting renewal of the track between Buharkoy-Saraykent just a few months ago (without halting the traffic). The rumour is...
TCDD has to make this loco come alive. It's necessary for 56548 to maintain annualy after. Although TCDD normally ignoring travel agents request, but this...
Hi all. I'm a new member of this group, so I'd better declare my professional interst. I'm writing an article about freight services in Turkey for a specialist...
Hi Chris Welcome to the group. Anyone going to Istanbul can see frenetic activity aroud the various Marmaray construction sites. That said, completion sill...
What is the alternative that they propose? Current status? ________________________________ To: Turk-Rail@yahoogroups.com ....In fact, the project is heavily...
... Not really. They claim that, Marmaray is nothing new other than the section between Sogutlucesme and Sirkeci. They argue that Istanbul needs sone new rail ...
It's encouraging to hear that Marmary is making progress, even if it is somewhat delayed. Your information on Van Tatvan is pretty much as I suspected. I don't...
A true track tunnel can certainly accomodate the current level of rail freight across the Bosphorus. An off peak 10 mn headway leaves a path for a freight...
Chris, Recently, there was an hour-long documentary covering the Marmaray project on the Discovery Channel (in HD) on a program called "Build it Bigger". The...
1.8% - that's 1 in 55 in old money, isn't it. It sounds a bit like the situation with the High Speed Line in southern England - freight is theoretically...
Thanks for that - I'll try and check it out. CL ... From: Derya Ferendeci To: Turk-Rail@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 2:36 AM Subject: Re:...
Hi all, one point that has been missed is the construction of the branch Muratli-Tekirdag, which will give the Tekirdag port on the northern coast of Marmara...
That is very interesting. Yes, I suppose a train ferry across the Sea of Marmara would cut off quite a bit of distance compared with going via the tunnel for...
Right, Chris; to set up train ferries is a bit strange but I still find this project much more viable than the other current ones, (which are not really...
I wonder whether they mean train ferries as such or a normal ferry that would also carry intermodal freight such as containers or swapbodies? With the latter,...
