ETR 500 Y2 is on a stop at Yayla station for a photo session. The train is headed towards Eskisehir and the D445 1060 is coupled at the back. This was a special demo run with some management stuff of TCDD and some professors from the Middle East Technical University. The Yayla (higland) station is at the middle (alt. 473m) of the line between Bozüyük and Karaköy stations. This section of the line is one of the steepest (‰ 27) on the Turkish rail network.
