Uzunköprü Railway Station (Uzunköprü Garı in Turkish) is a railway station serving Uzunköprü, though situated 3 kilometres north of that town. The station is used by regional services İstanbul-Uzunköprü and Uzunköprü-Alpullu. It was served by the international Dostluk/Filia Express, a daily train between Istanbul and Thessaloniki, until that service was terminated in 2011.
History
The station was built in 1873 by the Chemins de fer Orientaux on their İstanbul-Vienna main line. The world-famous Orient Express stopped at the station on its journey between Paris and İstanbul. A Turkish State Railways organisation was formed after World War I, and in 1937 took over the Chemins de fer Orientaux as well as the station.
