Kırkikievler railway station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kırkikievler railway station (Turkish: Kırkikievler istasyonu) was a railway station in İzmit, Turkey. It was serviced by the Adapazarı Express regional train service from Istanbul to Adapazarı.[1] Located just south of the city center, the station was originally built in 1975 by the Turkish State Railways, when the Istanbul-Ankara railway was realigned to bypass İzmit's city center.[2]
