Orhan Interesting - perhaps you didn't realise but when they were backing up the loco was "priming" - that is water was passing over into the cylinders - very...
That's interesting. Did you say the ferry is between Zonguldak and Eregli ? Why is it necessary to have a train ferry - on my map the two places are on the...
Nope!... The rail line is between Eregli and Armutcuk, which has no rail connection with the mainline that terminates at Zonguldak. You should spend some time...
Hi Chris.. I don't know which type of map you have, but this operation is still on duty, twice a day. Well, Zonguldak and Eregli ports are located in the same...
Thanks for that clarification. Certainly, this must make Turkey the leading operator of train ferries in Europe. I make that three routes - trans-Bosphorus,...
The thing that can not be understood by a normal person is that there is a great pathological hostility against railways in Turkey! A highway is constructed...

Thanks for the interesting information about 56548 Derya.Would you know how to contact the company in Izmir with a view to using it. Are there any other steam...
Jim, I don't remember the name of the company in Izmir. Two friends and I saw "Skyliner" 56359 last summer at Cankiri. She was operational. However, the shed ...
Jim In my understanding, 56548 was repaired by a private sucontractor on behalf of TCDD who is still the owner of this loco. TCDD heated up also 56009 several...
