Işık also said that after a certain while, Turkey will become one of the leading countries of the world in terms of rail systems.
"We are planning to put 70 shunting locomotives and 110 high-speed trains on tracks by 2023. We have produced a prototype of an electric locomotive and managed its test drive successfully," he added.
