Turkish Railways

In order to comprehend the railways policies during the early years of our Republic that is described as the golden age of railways, we have to consider the period prior to the proclamation of Republic. Because, we can not understand today without knowing the facts of past.


Therefore, the railways history of our country should be considered under three headings as Pre-Republic period, Republic period (1923-1950 Period), and the period after 1950. The distinctive characteristics of these periods are the railway lines were constructed by the foreigners in return for the grant of privileges in the first period, the railways transportation experienced its golden age during the second, and the existence of railways transportation is ignored and it is neglected in the third period.
