Türkiye is Building a New Rail Across Bosphorus

Over the past two decades, Türkiye has transformed its railway system on a remarkable scale. Previously, we spoke about Türkiye's railway system, its history, rapid transformation over the past two decades, and the ambitious plans that are reshaping the country's rail network. In this video we are discussing INRAIL - Istanbul Northern Rail Crossing, an ambitious project designed to create a new railway connection across the northern part of the city, linking the European and Asian sides while providing a new route for both passenger and freight trains. Its importance goes far beyond simply adding another railway across the Bosphorus. At present, Marmaray is the only railway connection across the Bosphorus, carrying both passenger and freight trains. However, during the day, the line is almost entirely occupied by passenger services, leaving freight trains with only limited windows to cross the Bosphorus, mostly during the night. And if completed as planned, this project could fundamentally change the way trains move through Istanbul - and strengthen the city's role as one of the most important railway gateways between Europe and Asia.
