- ... that the construction of Deliktaş Tunnel, Turkey's longest railway tunnel, lasted almost four decades?

The article is new enough and long enough. The article says it is "Turkey's longest single track railway tunnel" rather than "longest railway tunnel" as suggested in the hook. I have looked at the only English reference which supports the 39 years claim, but unfortunately can't read the sources in Turkish to check whether it is the longest tunnel or the longest single track tunnel.— Rod talk 09:06, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
- Ref #6 says in Turkish "5400 m boyu ile Türkiye'nin tek hatlı en uzun demiryolu tüneli", which is "5400 m long single line with Turkey's longest railway tunnel" as literally by Google translator. I added three more inline refs to the article saying the same, tough also in Turkish only. --CeeGee 09:31, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
