TCDD 34.061 in Kahramanmaraş

There were plans to connect Kayseri directly to the SE via Kahramanmaraş. In 1948 a short part was realized from Köprüağzı, a station on the mainline Malatya - Adana.

This was the only place to find TCDD class 34.06. The design is based on the German BR24.

Quit a long train for such a branch line, with no intermediate stations! The trains connected to the mainline schedules, in theory. In the seventies Schürzewagen and Hechtwagen were still common on all kinds of passenger trains.
