Tunnels

Going through mountains, the network has numerous tunnels. As a tribute to great tunneling in Turkey, we place herewith the list of the tunnels over 2km in Anatolia. They are all single track, but some of them have a very large clearance.

The Tencer Kangal cut-off would include a 5367m tunnel. Works on this section are not complete (as of 2006).

In total, TCDD has 763 tunnels for a cumulative length of 180km (source 2007 TCDD annual report). Besides the 6 tunnels listed above, 20 tunnels are above 1km length.
