So they do have 1520 mm at Derince?
Seems so.
Non-border-crossing Derince - Tekirdağ over the Marmara Sea
operated until 2020.
Now Marmaray tunnel takes freight trains during night under the
Bosporus strait..
BTW, 1520 mm in Turkey.
What about Kars - Gyumri (Armenia)? There's some information about a
never used regauging facility at Akhurian station in Armenia build in
Soviet times. But is there a 1520 mm track into Turkey
There was, and it seems to me that that was quite normal for
Soviet and post-Soviet rail border crossings.
and what is the
current status?
Unusable since 1993 for Akhuryan - Doğukapı as the land border is closed. Direct flights were not concerned.
