Blue Train (Turkey)

The Blue Train (Turkish: Mavi Tren) was the Turkish State Railways premier passenger train service in the 1980s and early 1990s. The first Blue Train operated between İstanbul and Ankara, entering service in 1979.[1] More Blue Train services were added later on. The İzmir Blue Train, Central Anatolia Blue Train, Çukurova Blue Train and 4th of September Blue Train all were overnight trains. These trains had custom railcars, built by TÜVASAŞ, all painted blue with a blue painted DE 24000 series locomotive pulling the train.
