Kazlıçeşme is a railway station in Zeytinburnu, Istanbul along the Istanbul suburban railway. The original station was opened on 22 July 1872 by the Oriental Railway (CO). The Turkish State Railways took over the CO in 1937 and rebuilt Kazlıçeşme in 1955 for the opening of the new Istanbul commuter railway service. On 1 March 2013 the 1955 station was closed down and demolished shortly after, while a new station was built right next to it. This new station was built for Istanbul's new Marmaray commuter railway line. On 29 October 2013 the new Kazlıçeşme station was opened along with 4 other stations along the trans-Bosphorus Marmaray tunnel. Kazlıçeşme is the current western terminus of the line while trains run east to Ayrılık Çeșmesi, on the other side of the Bosphorus.
