The Izmir–Afyon railway (Turkish: İzmir–Afyon demiryolu) is a railway in the Aegean Region of Turkey, connecting Afyonkarahisar to the port city of Izmir. The railway is the main freight and passenger train route from the Aegean region to Central Anatolia. The railway was built between 1865–90 by the Smyrna Cassaba Railway and is the second oldest railway in Turkey.[1] Today the line is owned and operated by the Turkish State Railways.
