Pozantı railway station
railway station of Adana, southern Turkey
Pozantı railway station (Turkish: Pozantı istasyonu) is a railway station in the town of Pozantı, Turkey. Situated in the Taurus Mountains, Pozantı is the northernmost station in the Adana Province. Due to its geographical location near the Cilician Gates, the station was historically a resting stop for trains crossing the mountain range. The station was originally opened on 21 December 1912 by the Baghdad Railway.
Pozantı station consists of an island platform serving two tracks, with a total of four tracks. The other two tracks are used as a siding.
TCDD Taşımacılık operates two daily intercity trains from Konya and Kayseri to Adana.

Why this record matters
The phrase “railway station of Adana, southern Turkey” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24912055. Authority coordinates are 37.423, 34.873. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1912.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
