Van railway station
Van railway station (Turkish: Van garı) is the main railway station in Van, Turkey. Up until July 2015, the Trans-Asia Express, from Tehran, Iran, stopped at the station. The train would continue to the Van Pier, where passengers would travel to Tatvan via ferry, and the western half of the train would continue to Ankara.[1] As of mid-2015, freight trains are the only rail traffic at the station. However, as of September 2018, a twice weekly service to Tabriz is due to resume.

gollark: I mean, working from that idea that advanced civilizations would run a lot of simulations which may then themselves run simulations, and therefore it's likely that *we* are simulated... one of the major purposes of our simulations is entertainment (video gaming). These are steadily getting more complex; advanced civilizations may construct even more complex ones for their own entertainment.So while you may not live in a comic, you may be part of some ridiculously overkill video game.
