This must be the same route followed by the CIWL/ ISG Orient Express coaches before WW II, while transferring into Asia and all the way to Bagdad and Cairo! Did you have a chance to see the builder plate on the ship and noted thd date it was build Thanks for the pics and videos!! Cheers.

Hi Jacques, I must admit that I have no idea about the CIWL/ ISG Orient Express coaches before WW II.... All I can say it does not exsist another pass for the wagons to cross the continents in Istanbul...... About the builder plate on the ship and noted thd date it was build....I will try to get into the area once again and will do my best...but the area is a forbidden zone.....so if I cannot manage to get a picture, please accept my advance apologies..... Cheers, mehmet

You are a great reporter and you have added a little more knowledge of the history of the magical Orient Express story!

Next available trip of the train to Istambul is 5 to 6 of September 2013... so I can start planning!! Thanks again

During a trip to Istanbul I saw them offloading wagons at Haydarpasa station from the ferry, great to see it finally documented. I heard recently a rumour that there had been a bid fire at Haydarpasa station, was this correct, I must say the station looks great from you photos, as does the food.........lovely. It would have been a pleasure to join you especially if we could have had some borek to start. Please keep your photos coming very interesting. Best Regards, Glenn

Hi Gary, The wagon ferry terminal is just between the Platforms and the sea.....The loco is a bit similar to DHG 700 C (Ma: 30088.1).....but a Turkish made.... Cheers, mehmet
