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.
