Turkish Railways Map: Cities with Railways in Turkey
In Turkey, it is possible to go to all parts of the country only by means of land transportation. Railways, one of the other modes of transportation, do not provide transportation to every region of Turkey due to the rugged terrain and high road construction costs. However, it should not be forgotten that transportation by railway is reliable and cheap.
Among the purposes of using railway transportation in Turkey, purposes such as providing the connection between the cities, reaching the ports, establishing the connection with the neighboring countries can be counted. When the history of railway transportation in Turkey is examined, it is striking that it dates back to ancient times. The first railways were established in Izmir-Aydin region in 1856.
After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, this railway line, which was first established by the Republic of Turkey State Railways, was purchased in 1935, thus the Republic of Turkey had the first railways. Many of the old railways in Turkey were built during the Ottoman period and there are railway lines that are still in use today.
In the history of Turkey, importance was given to railway transportation, especially until the 1950s. It has been observed that the railway was preferred in freight and passenger transportation until these years. When we look at the regions that can be reached by railways in Turkey, there are a total of 7 railway lines in the cities of Izmir, Afyon, Istanbul, Adana, Ankara, Sivas, Malatya.
In addition, high-speed train lines in Turkey have also shown a great improvement in recent years. In 2009, a high-speed railway line was established between Ankara and Eskişehir, and this railway line was expanded to Konya and Istanbul over time.
Starting from Ankara-Polatlı, the high-speed rail line reaches Eskişehir, Bilecik-Bozöyük, Sakarya- Sapanca and Pamukova, Izmit, Gebze and Istanbul-Pendik. And today, this high-speed rail line continues to develop gradually.
