Eğirdir
Eğirdir was the terminal station of the ORC main line from Izmir. It was built in 1912 and closed to traffic in 2003 (See here). Eğirdir had a minimal track plan with a main track and a passing loop. The passenger building and the freight shed were side by side on the main track, very much in the fashion of narrow gauge railway. It is surprising to find such a minimal track plan for a terminal station. ORC intend was to built the line as far as Konya and Eğirdir was not really meant to be a terminal station.
It needs to be checked whether the station had additionnal sidings to the north.
Eğirdir city (more like a village?) is quite small with little activity. This station never had a significant traffic and kept the same building and track layout throughout its life. As of 2006, the building was abandoned and empty.
