Summary
Description19 May Square, Ankara Railway Station, Railway Station Club, Building of Directorate General of State Railways, 1940s (16851288402).jpg |
The railway line between İzmit-Ankara started operating on 27 November, 1892. The first railway station was a small and modest structure and it was inaugurated with a ceremony. The residents of Ankara flooded in the railway station to participate in the ceremony and to see the very first train which came to the city. A new railway station was decided to be constructed in 1934. Sabri Şekip Akalın, a 25-year old architect working for the Ministry of Transport, was assigned for the construction works. The new railway station, the construction of which started on November 3, 1935 was completed on September 2, 1937 and put into service on September 30, 1937.
İzmit-Ankara demiryolu hattı 27 Kasım 1892 günü işletmeye açıldı. Açılışı törenle oldu. O gün orkestra bile vardı. Ankaralılar istasyona dökülmüş, hem töreni hem de sonunda kente gelen ilk treni ilgiyle izlemişlerdi. İlk gar binası, mütevazı, iddiasız, küçük bir yapıydı. Kırk yıl kadar zamana göğüs gerdi. 1934 yılıydı, yeni bir gar binası yapılmasına karar verildi. Yapımı için Ulaştırma Bakanlığı’nın 25 yaşındaki mimarı Sabri Şekip Akalın görevlendirildi. 3 Kasım 1935 günü temeli atılan gar binası inşaatı 1937’nin 2 Eylül günü tamamlandı. 30 Ekimde hizmete girdi. Ertuğrul Şevket’in iki yıl sonraki yazısının başlığına bakılırsa, “Avrupanın En Modern İstasyonu Ankara Garı”ydı: “Türkiyenin kalbi güzel Ankaranın yeni garı, bu kalbin atışını tanzim eden, kanlarını etrafa dağıtan canlı bir uzuv gibidir. Ankaraya ayak basanın karşısına yapısının sağlamlığı, güzelliği ve temizliği ile yeni Türkiyenin timsali gibi çıkan gar, yolcunun gözlerini dinlendiren, muhayyelesini şehirde göreceği harikalara hazırlıyan bir manzara teşkil eder.” |
