Istanbul Ferries
Alright, these aren’t trains, and they don’t even travel on land. But they’re an essential Istanbuli experience, and one used daily by millions of Turkish commuters crossing the Bosphorous between the European and Asian sides.

Riding the tourist trolley up Istiklal Caddesi, Istanbul, Turkey
It’s not all fun and trains. This old time trolley/tram (it looks like a trolley but rides along a track) still hauls tourists up and down the Europe-esque Istiklal Caddesi in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu neighborhood. It’s tourtisty as all get out, it only makes sense if you’re traveling in the uphill direction on a hot day, and it doesn’t have any stops other than the two terminals, but it’s a fun thing to do on your first visit.
Here’s a photo of the trolley from the ground:
