Early Republican Railway Heritage: İsmetpaşa Station in Archival Documents

Öz

This study examines the coal railway, one of the major railway projects constructed by the Swedish-Danish consortium during the Early Republican period, and İsmetpaşa station, one of the key nodes along the line, through archival documents. In accordance with the Dublin Principles, the research adopts a multi-faceted methodology that incorporates field studies, historical investigations and archival documents housed in various institutions, organizations, and university libraries. İsmetpaşa station was planned and constructed as a multifunctional complex serving both passenger and freight transport, supporting the maintenance and repair of rolling stock, and including facilities required for the supply and distribution of water for the steam-powered transport system. The station is one of the few examples on the line in which these three functions are integrated. On the coal railway line, type projects were implemented both at stations and along the line. As part of this planning approach, İsmetpaşa station is one of the rare stations that has survived to the present day while largely preserving its authenticity and integrity. Most studies on railway heritage in the literature have focused on a single building type—primarily passenger station buildings—and have generally addressed their architectural characteristics. However, this approach does not allow for an understanding of the holistic planning approach. Within the scope of this study, the railway buildings at İsmetpaşa station are examined with particular emphasis on their engineering, technical and technological values, alongside their historical and architectural features. By addressing railway heritage through all its values, this study contributes to filling a gap in the existing literature. It also provides an important reference for future studies on other railway lines where similar design and planning were implemented.
