The Turkish Republic, established in 1923, acquired on 22 April 1924 the Anatolian Railways (CFOA) by Decree-Law No. 506. On 24 May 1924 the CFOA was put under the control of the Directorate General Anadolu - Bağdat Demiryolları, the predecessor of the TCDD.
TCDD was established on 23 May 1927. On 1 January 1937, it overtook the Compagnie des Chemins de fer Orientaux and since then controls the whole Turkish railway network. Nowadays the net is divided in three parts, the European branch lines, the Central Anatolian branch lines and a connection with Iran beginning on the east bank of Lake Van.

The flag of TCDD (photo, photo) is white with the company's emblem in the middle.
The emblem of TCDD is made of a blue winged wheel, superimposed by a red lying crescent. Above all is a red five-pointed star pointing downwards, to the crescent. The crescent and the star represent the Turkish Republic. The winged wheel is the classical railway symbol. Beneath the logo is a blue, unserifed inscription in Italics: "TCDD".
