Siemens is to supply signaling technology of Samsun-Kalin railway.

The 378-km-long single-track Samsun-Kalin railway connecting Samsun Port in Black Sea to Central Anatolia was started to be reconstructed last year.

By modernization of the rails and signaling equipment, maximum speed of trains will be increased from 70 to 120 km/h, cutting the journey time between Samsun and Kalin from nine to five hours.
