Turkish wagons / coaches

Turkish trucks where passengers sit There are two types.

European-style compartments for up to six people. The passengers sit on two benches facing each other, three seats on each side. One side faces against the front of the train, the other backwards. A dozen fans line one side of the train car, each compartment with a window to the outside and a door to the corridor, on the other side.

American Pullman-style seats are individually adjustable seats, two or three on each side of a central corridor, all looking in the same direction on the front of the train, with common windows on both sides of the car.

Turkish trains use both types, although the newer, better trains use the Pullman-style cars.
