Haydarpasa Terminal is the western terminus of the Istanbul-Ankara Main Line and was the western terminus of the former Baghdad Railway (Istanbul-Konya-Adana-Aleppo-Baghdad) and the Hejaz Railway (Istanbul-Konya-Adana-Aleppo-Damascus-Amman-Medina). The tracks do not cross the Bosphorus, but there is a train ferry which carries rail cars from the Haydarpasa Terminal on the Asian side to the Sirkeci Terminal on the European side.
