TCDD Malikoy Train Station Museum, Railway museum in Sincan, Turkey
The TCDD Malikoy Train Station Museum is a railway facility near Ankara that displays historical locomotives, railway carriages, and transportation equipment. The exhibition spreads across outdoor and indoor spaces where visitors can see various vehicles and technical equipment from different periods.
The station served as a logistics hub and medical facility during the Battle of Sakarya in 1921, which was a key moment in the Turkish War of Independence. This role shows how railway infrastructure was essential to the military operations of that critical period in Turkish history.
The collection includes photographs and documents that show how Turkish railway systems changed over time. These materials reveal the technical progress and social shifts that rail transport brought to the region.
The museum sits about 30 kilometers south of Ankara, along the route toward Eskisehir. A side road branches off from the main highway and passes through farmland before reaching the grounds, which tend to be less crowded in early morning or late afternoon hours.
The collection includes a German-built locomotive from 1897 that was restored and put to use during the military campaigns of 1921. This vehicle shows how older European technology was adapted and put to practical use during Turkish times of crisis.
