While 1275 kilometers of railway lines were affected by the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, efforts are underway to control the lines through teams formed from the surrounding regions.
According to the information received from the General Directorate of State Railways of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, 1275 kilometers of railway lines were affected by the earthquakes in Kahramanmaraş, while there are 446 bridges, 6161 culverts and 175 tunnels on these lines.
Unable to supply energy from 10 substations
After the first earthquake, field inspections were made by the railways maintenance teams and many lines were controlled. It was determined that the railway infrastructure was deformed, especially in the Toprakkale-Narlı, Narlı-Malatya and Narlı-Gaziantep line sections. After the determinations, the mobilization processes of the teams started. However, after the second earthquake, there was a need to recheck all lines. The controls were carried out to include all the art structures together with the existing infrastructure. Accordingly, energy cannot be provided from 10 substations that provide electrical energy for the lines in the region.
