Turkish State Railways has several trains connecting Turkey with Iran, the main one being the Trans Asya Ekspresi.

It takes several days to travel from Istanbul to Tabriz or Teheran via train, and includes crossing huge Lake Van on a ferryboat.

It would hardly seem worth the trouble, especially as cheap flights and buses are faster and not much more expensive.

Unfortunately, the Turkish State Railways website is inconsistent in listing schedules for international trains. In one place they give one schedule, in another place they give another. I can't be sure which is the correct schedule.
