In Dalaman, there is a train station building with no connection to the railway network whatsoever. Abbas II, the hunting-loving Ottoman Viceroy of Egypt, originally planned to build his own hunting lodge in 1905. At the same time, he was planning to build a train station in Egypt. However, because the shiploads and construction plans got mixed up, the workers in Dalaman received the instructions and materials from the station originally planned for Egypt. Thus, in place of the hunting lodge, a train station was built, complete with ticket office and reportedly even tracks. Today, it is the headquarters of the local Chamber of Agriculture.[3]
