The Grand National Assembly of Turkey approved the Law on the Ankara-Eregli Railway Line under the name 'The Railway Leading to Coal'. This important railway line, which the young Republic of Turkey wished to establish to face the future and move forward, was going to run between the coal city Zonguldak and Irmak station, near the capital Ankara. The construction of the railway started on 7th February 1927 and the 102-kilometer line, running between Irmak and Çankiri, became operative on the 23rd of April 1931. The railway between Irmak-Filyos, which had a total length of 391 kilometers, went into operation on 12th November 1935 with a ceremony held in Filyos. It comprised 27 stations, 1368 culverts, and bridges and 37 tunnels, and had a total length of 8800 kilometers.". (Source: Irmak Karabük Zonguldak Railway Line - UDHB).
