  Turkish State Railways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Those countries tried to deliver the goods that were necessary for their industries, that they bought from the Ottoman Empire, as fast as possible to the seaports.
The railways were built to be as efficient as possible, and were strategically placed, for example being within around 20 km of mines, etc. So the railways were actually placed according to the politics of those foreign countries.
In this case after the Republic was announced in Turkey, only 4000 km of the railway tracks that were build by foreign companies were left within the national borders.
