Anatolia TCDD | 1988

An Anatolian idyll clings to life at Sutlac, that is the ORC branch line to Civril. With it's single coach and van '57001' 2-10-2 loco 57018 waits upon 10.35 Sutlac-Civril service.

 

57018 had earlier arrived from Dinar shed as change-over for sister loco 57020 which had worked in on the 07.30 service from Civril. Providing just a further late afternoon service locos simmer on Civril's diminutive shed for most of the day.

 

With virtually no freight and low patronage the Sutlac-Civril branch succumbed to eventual closure by November 1988.

One of a classic Prussian design unique to Turkey loco 57018 is saved and is displayed at Camlik Museum.
