Turkey Railways


State Railways of the Republic of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devlet Demiryolları or TCDD) is the state corporation that operates the public railway system in Turkey. The organization was founded in 1927 to take over the operation of railways that were left within the borders of the Republic of Turkey after the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, whose railway network had been run and financed by private corporations. TCDD operates over 8500 kilometres of railway lines and is a member of InterRail.
