Caption - Turkish Railways (TCDD) 750mm gauge 2-6-0T 34803 Samsun in July 1969. The 37 km line from Samsun to Carsamba was the first section of what was hoped to be 150 km system. Financial difficulties meant this was the only section built by the promoters and TCDD took over operation. 34803 was one of four Henschel built locos (20769/26) with two delivered in 1926 and two in 1927. The line closed in 1971.
