Blue Train (Turkey)
The Blue Train (Turkish: Mavi Tren) is the Turkish State Railways premier passenger train service started in the 1980s. The first Blue Train operated between İstanbul and Ankara, entering service in 1979.[1] More Blue Train services were added later on. The İzmir Blue Train, Central Anatolia Blue Train, Çukurova Blue Train and 4th of September Blue Train all were overnight trains. These trains had custom railcars, built by TÜVASAŞ, all painted blue with a blue painted DE 24000 series locomotive pulling the train. The current remnant is just a branding with regular rolling stock.

gollark: Oh dear, a comment. I need to stop it somehow. Hmm.
gollark: 1. No dedicated syntax2. Any string making up a whole statement on its own is stdouted3. ???
gollark: You can get rid of them, mostly.
gollark: Also, add no syntax for comments.
gollark: The trick is to make a simple language, tack on a DSL for commonly used operations (regex in Perl's case), overcomplicate it, tack more features on generally, go utterly mad, add more DSLs, and follow Cthulu in your madness.
