Leaving the Black Sea coast section behind, train 06.45 Eregli-Armutcuk headed by 2-8-0 45001 storms gradients near the homesteads of Keskek approaching destination.
This isolated TCDD industrial railway conveying mined coal to the Eregli steel mills was abandoned and lifted in the 1990s.
13th May 1989
sirkeci-halkalı line
P.S.: to recognize the reflection I recommend viewing the image in full size...
TCDD 45004 and 45205 stationary on a World Steam special on the Senyurt - Mardin branch.
45205 had in fact failed, and the trip continued, eventually, with 45004 alone, with
passengers.

After terminating at Denizli on the 'Pamukkale Ekspresi' DE24 384 is seen here running round the stock, with the shunter along for the ride to throw the points.
The building on the right is the 'Fast Train' section of the station (with 6 platforms) whilst the suburban 'Başkentray' platforms are sandwiched between.
Official works photo of a new Turkish TCDD 2-10-0 class 56 steam locomotive, built by Schwartzkopff/BMAG.
When the first new 2-10-0 of class 56 were ordered by TCDD in 1937 there were already two other types of 2-10-0 locomotives:
- 56 001 - 56 010 built by Henschel in 1917/18 for the Ottoman War Ministry
- 56 011 - 56 020 built by Corpet Louvet in 1926 for SCP (Smyrna-Cassaba-Railway)
Therefore the first new locomotives were numbered 56 021. Only 24 locomotives were delivered in 1937/38:
- 56 021 - 56 034 by Henschel
- 56 035 - 56 044 by Krupp
In 1939 more locomotives of the same type (78 in all) were ordered for delivery in 1940:
- 56 045 - 56 071 by Henschel
- 56 072 - 56 095 by Krupp
- 56 096 - 56 107 by BMAG/Schwartzkopff
- 56 114 - 56 122 by Esslingen
(56 108 - 56 113 were never built)
But in 1940 there were two events: The German Government stopped all deliveries to Turkey, because Turkey was not willing to take part in the war as a German ally. Some locomotives of different batches reached Turkey before the boycott, others were sold to Bulgaria, others were temporarily used by Deutsche Reichsbahn. Of these locomotives, some more were sold to Bulgaria in a second deal, the others were delivered to Turkey in 1942, when the boycott ended.
At the same time TCDD renumbered their class 56 locomotives:
- 56 001 - 56 010 became 56 901 - 56 910
- 56 011 - 56 020 became 56 911 - 56 920
The locomotives delivered in 1937/38 retained their numbers 56 021 - 56 044.
Locomotives delivered in 1940 (and later) became numbers 56 001 - 56 020 and 56 045 onwards instead of the planned numbers.
Therefore the works photos are misleading. The first locomotive of the Schwartzkopff batch was photographed as 56 096, but became 56 010 after arrival in Turkey. The Esslingen-built 56 114 was actually 56 009. In all only 79 locomotives (of 102 ordered locomotives) were delivered to Turkey from Germany and became 56 001 - 56 079.
For political reasons, TCDD ordered in 1939 48 locomotives of the same type in Great Britain (Beyer, Peacock & Co., Vulcan Foundry, Robert Stephenson & Hawthorns). Only 37 were delivered in 1948 by Beyer, Peacock & Co. and Vulcan Foundry. These British-built German locomotives for Turkey were numbered 56 080 - 56 116. So the "real" 56 096 was built by Vulcan Foundry.

Two Turkish State Railways "Skyliner" locomotives lead a freight train south on the Zonguldak Line near Irmak, Turkey, on September 7, 1973. The Vulcan Foundry of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, built 88 of the 2-10-0 Skyliners for the Turkish Railways from 1947 to 1949. They were among the largest steam locomotives in Turkey, and the among the largest locomotives Vulcan ever built.
