The exact bridge name is Bandirmahi 2 Köprüsü, Muradiye, Van Note that Muradiye was the terminal point of a WW1 war railway built by the Russian army. Whether this loco is placed in former railway alignment is to be determined.

TCDD 56912, ex SCP (Société Ottomane du Chemin de fer de Smyrne-Cassaba et Prolongements) is plinthed in Muradiye in eastern Turkey, near Lake Van. This town has no and never had any railway connection. There is another Muradiye in western Turkey which is on the railway line from Izmir to Akhisar. A sign on the locomotive says that it was donated by the railway administration of the Izmir district to the town of Muradiye in eastern Turkey. Unfortunately the french made locomotive is in a sorry state.
