Izmir Alsancak

Alsancak was the terminal station of the Ottoman Railway Company. The British choose to build their station near the port. The station is in its original shape; it is quite small, yet pretty and smart. The 19th century track layout can easily been seen: two outer tracks with platforms, two inner tracks without platforms are for car storage.

The main passenger room has been renovated. This station currently has no passenger traffic; there are no electronic displays or other modern passenger information equipment to disgrace the nice wooden main room.
