Belemedik railway station

Belemedik railway station (Belemedik istasyonu) is a railway station in the village of Belemedik, Adana in Turkey. The station is northern entrance to the Çakıt Valley pass, where the railway traverses through 12 tunnels, the longest of them being 3.7 km long.

Belemedik station was originally opened on 21 December 1912 by the Baghdad Railway and played an important role in transporting troops to the Mesopotamian and Palestine fronts during World War I. The station was also a gap in the railway, thus goods and soldiers disembarked at Belemedeik and walked to Durak (on the other side of the valley) where the railway continued. The pass through Çakıt Valley was finally completed on 9 October 1918, 11 days before the Ottoman Empire capitulated.

Belemedik station consists of an island platform and a side platform serving two tracks, with a third track as a siding.

TCDD Taşımacılık operates two daily intercity trains from Konya and Kayseri to Adana.
