The second part of the Istanbul Suburban Railway footage.

With the construction of the new Marmaray commuter rail system, the original Istanbul Suburban Railway line will be changed forever. Every station on the line shall be rebuilt along with the tracks and even the old centenary support beams.

Since the new route of Marmaray will diverge off the original railway at Kazlıçeşme, to head into the Trans-Bosphorus tunnel, the fate of the portion from Kazlıçeşme to Sirkeci is still unclear. Some say that the line will torn up and turned into a long park along the Marmara Sea, others deny this and say that the railway will still be used by intercity trains.

In any case, this video is historic as the scenes captured he will never been seen again in real life.
