RAHMI KOC MUSEUM........Another good display is the Trains. One of particular interest was the Sultans.
Among some of Sultan Abdulaziz achievements were.....
He established the first Ottoman railroad network and Sirkeci Train Station in Istanbul.
He established the Istanbul Archaeological Museum.
He was made the 756th Knight of the Order of the Garter in 1867 and the 127th Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword.
His beautifully restored coach was built in 1866 at Birmingham, and presented to him as a gift from the Ottoman Railway company, which operated the Izmir-Aydin route.
The Sultan used the carriage during his tour of Europe in 1867. It was restored at the Museum's workshops in 1998.
You can also take a short ride in one of the period carriages behind a diesel locomotive. The train runs every hour, on the hour on Saturdays and Sundays, and tickets are free to paying Museum visitors.
