There is little benefit for the cost for Finland. Currently I believe that there are no railway between Finland and the rest of the EU, with the first one to Sweden under construction (and obviously a huge detour since the only land connection is through the North of the country).
- abbe98 1y agoThe connection between Finland and Sweden was built in 1919, however it was recently electrified(January 2025). It's dual gauge(four rails).
- mytailorisrich 1y agoOk so it's passengers link that is under development. Doesn't change the big picture, though.
- abbe98 1y agoI don't think there are any ongoing projects, the current link can take passenger trains but there are no plans to do so at the moment. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torne%C3%A5%E2%80%93Haparanda-banan https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torne%C3%A5%E2%80%93Haparanda-...
