TheÇamlık Railway Museum, also known asÇamlık Steam Locomotive Museum (Turkish:Çamlık Tren Müzesi orÇamlık Buharlı Lokomotif Müzesi), is an outdoorrailway museum atÇamlık village ofSelçuk district inİzmir Province, Turkey. It is the largest railway museum in Turkey and contains one of the largeststeam locomotive collections in Europe.^[1]

History

[edit]

The museum is located on a former part of theORC mainline, the oldest line in Turkey, near the village Çamlık, very close to the historical site atEphesus.^[2] When the tracks on theİzmir–Aydın main line were realigned, a small portion of the line, as well as the original Çamlık railway station, were abandoned. The museum was started in 1991, and completed in 1997. It uses the original tracks built in 1866.^[1]^[3]

While the land, the buildings and the collection are all the property of theTurkish State Railways (TCDD), the museum is run by Atilla Mısırlıoğlu on a 99-year lease. He is the son of the firstsignalman serving at the Çamlık railway station.^[1]^[2]

Museum

[edit]

In the museum, there are 33 steam locomotives displayed outside, half of them arrayed around an 18-road turntable.^[1]^[3] The manufacturing years of the locomotives range from 1891 to 1951. The oldest one is built byRobert Stephenson & Company, England. The steam engines on display were made by:Henschel (8),Maffei (2),Borsig (1),BMAG (2),MBA (1),Krupp (3), Humboldt (1) fromGermany;NOHAB (2) fromSweden;ČKD (1) fromCzechoslovakia; Robert Stephenson & Company (2),North British Locomotive Company (1),Beyer, Peacock & Company (1) from the UK;Lima Locomotive Works (1),ALCO (1),Vulcan Iron Works (1) from the USA; andCreusot (1), Batignolles (1),Corpet-Louvet (2) fromFrance. Visitors may climb up into the engines. The locomotives are provided with plaques giving information about technical details.^[2]^[3]

The steam locomotive number 45501, which was involved in theYarımburgaz train disaster as part of theOrient Express, is exhibited in the museum. Thehead-on collision in 1957, with its death toll of 95, is the deadliesttrain accident in Turkey as of 2010.^[4]

The museum has nine passenger cars including two wooden cars. The salon car used byMustafa Kemal Atatürk (1881-1938) can be visited inside. There are also seven freight cars on display. In addition to various rolling stock, there are many railway and rail station utilities at the facility such as a water tower, road turntable, hand lorry and crane.^[3]
