3245 - VR Finnish Railways |
Description: |
Sr2 engines are used on both passenger trains and freight trains, and they are the primary locomotives of the fast InterCity trains in Finland. In 1992, VR odered the first 20, and later another 20 was ordered with 12 options. Finally only six of the 12 options were transformed into orders, so the total number of Sr2 class came to be 46. Here it is with Intercity IC68 on the way to Helsinki. In first position a green business double deck coach. |

+r2 - VR Finnish Railways |
Description: |
IC2 180 is crossing the bridge at Haemeenlinna and heading for Haemeenlinna station and later to Riihimaeki and Helsinki. Between Haemeenlinna and Helsinki it will use the first railroad connection in Finland, which was opened 1862. The track was 1862 96 km long, singled tracked and expected to carry one train a day. Knut Adolf Ludvig Stjernvall was construction manager, and came under criticism for the project cost, resigning in 1861. It seems, same kind of problems we face today ! |
