How did he ride the first train with bags?

How he got on the first trains with bags: Thus, the 130 km İzmir-Aydın railway line, which is the first railway line on the Anatolian territory. He stopped at 3 stops in Torbalı and ended his journey in Aydın. At that time, the train was not a cheap means of transportation like now. Trains seemed quite luxurious vehicles
The railway history in ANATOLIA starts on September 23, 1856, when the first railway line, the 130 km Izmir-Aydın line, was hit by a British firm's first pickaxe. Thus, this 1857 km line, which is the first railway line in Anatolian lands, was completed in 130 during a period of 10 years in Sultan Abdülaziz. Starting from Kemer, the line stopped at 1866 stops in Torbalı and ended its journey in Aydın. At that time, the train was not a cheap means of transportation like now. Trains seemed to be quite luxurious vehicles.
3 HOURS WITH BAG FROM KEMER
The historical records include the train schedule for 1875. On the railways made by the British, ticket sales were made through the Sterling rate. The cheapest ticket for transportation to Torbalı could be bought from the part that is described as 3rd class. Even the fee was set at £ 20. For the highest level of travel, the fee payable is £ 40. In addition, Pancar, Torbalı and Sağlık (Executioner) stations were built in the district. Transportation in the Beet and Health Districts was generally for commercial purposes.
A FAMILY CAN COME TO 155 LIRA!
According to the times given in the TICKET details, transportation to Torbalı took place within 2 to 3 hours. Today, a train leaving from Basmane reaches the district in about 1 hour. Based on the machine power of that period, it was very fast compared to other types of transportation. However, transportation to Torbalı by Train, which is an expensive transportation, is 3 lira in the 77.6rd class with today's money. In the first year, today's fee is 1 liras. Since the Sterling and the Ottoman Pound were equivalent in that period, this table appears when it is converted to today's exchange rate. In addition, children between the ages of 155 and 3 were half charged. In other words, a family of 12, who wanted to come to Torbalı in the third grade, could travel to 3 liras.
