Ankara Turkey steam loco display
Posted by Semper Vaporo on Wednesday, December 4, 2019 5:00 PM

Looking at Google Earth at: 39°55'57.88"N, 32°50'46.12"E  Ankara, Turkey.

if I go back in the timeline to between 2009 and 2013 I see a very nice display of about 10 steam locomotives.  But at the June 2014 date it all changes to a construction site.  Street View shows it to be a parking lot, apparently for the Ankara Hotel, a sign over the entrances reads 'Kapali Otopark Giris'.

My question is; What happened to the locos?  Were they moved to a new site, and does anyone know where that is?
