On August 14, 1871, the Ottoman Government started to build a line from the port city of
Mudanya to the inland city of
Bursa. During construction, the line was sold to two
French investors in 1874. The Ottoman empire used 185,000 lira to finance the project. The railway reached Bursa and was finished in 1875. The railway was to be continued to
Bozüyük where it would connect with the
CFOA line, but the tracks were never laid. On January 2, 1891
Georges Nagelmackers paid £27,000 for the rail line. In 1932 the
Turkish State Railways (TCDD) bought the line. The railway was not very profitable, so in 1948, TCDD abandoned the line. ==Bursaray==
