Tavşancıl railway station

Tavşancıl railway station was a railway station in Tavşancıl, Turkey on the Istanbul-Ankara railway. It was located in the southern part of the town on the shore of the Gulf of İzmit. The station was a stop on the Adapazarı Express regional train service; 11 daily eastbound trains and 13 daily westbound trains stopped at Tavşancıl.[1] The opening date of the station is unclear, but the station was rebuilt and expanded in 1975, when the Turkish State Railways double-tracked the railway from Gebze to Arifiye.[2] Tavşancıl station closed on 1 February 2012 and the platforms were demolished shortly after.
