This loop line was used to turn around empty stock workings from the main railway station in Ankara. With the construction of the new station, the addition of extra running lines east of the station and the move towards 'fast train' units, the line has been rendered superfluous to use.

Een Duits onderonsje, als het ware. Voor de loods staan de stoomlocomotieven 55001 en 55016. In 1927 bouwde de Zweedse fabriek Nydqvist & Holm (Nohab) 18 stoomlocomotieven met asindeling E' die gebaseerd waren op de Duitse G10 van de KPEV.
This locomotive is waiting with a 'generator car' to take the 'Doğu Ekspresi'/'Easterm Express' on to Erzerum and Kars. The train ran from Istanbul to Ankara behind an electric locomotive.

The last Thomas Cook aircraft that I caught, exactly two months before their heartbreaking collapse in September 2019. Taking off from Runway 22 bound for Tenerife-South as the TCX1116.
The sole Adana-Mersin loco hauled turn is currently worth looking out for, as TCDD often use it to save light engine movements between Adana and Mersin or vice versa, however DE33s are less common than DE24s and even DE22s. Here, Adana allocated DE33 084 arrives at Yenice on the 12.30 Mersin-Adana.

Viel Geduld benötigten wir am 20.09.2025 bis gegen 16:00 Uhr dann endlich ein nach Westen fahrender Güterzug unsere Fotostelle passieren wollte. Waren wir doch an diesem Tag bereits gut 7 Stunden an der Strecke Malatya - Yolçati im Bereich des aufgestauten Firat unterwegs. Zu sehen ist eine TCDD DE24000 mit der Übergabe vom Zementwerk bei Kuşsarayı nach Malatya zwischen dem Haltepunkt "km 286+500" bei Duraği und Firat. Im Hintergrund ist die bewachte Eisenbahnbrücke über den Stausee zu erkennen (İsmetpaşa Demiryolu Köprüsü).
We needed a lot of patience on September 20, 2025, until around 4:00 PM when a first westbound freight train passed our photo spot. We had already spent about seven hours that day traveling along the Malatya-Yolçati line in the area of the dammed Firat reservoir. The photo shows a TCDD DE24000 locomotive with a freight train from the cement plant near Kuşsarayı to Malatya, between the "km 286+500" stop near Duraği and Firat. In the background, the guarded railway bridge over the reservoir (İsmetpaşa Demiryolu Köprüsü) can be seen.
