Turku–Toijala railway

The Turku–Toijala railway (Finnish: Turku–Toijala-rata, Swedish: Åbo–Toijala-banan) is a 1,524 mm (5 ft) railway in Finland. Running through the regions of Southwest Finland, Kanta-Häme and Pirkanmaa, it connects the junction stations of Turku and Toijala in the southwest–northeast direction.[1][2]
History
Around the time of the completion of the Helsinki–Hämeenlinna railway – the first of its kind in Finland – planning its extensions towards the south to Turku and north to Tampere became relevant. The northern terminus of the former route was subject to debate; in time, the village of Toijala was chosen as a compromise. The two branches were inaugurated at the same time, on 22 June 1876.[1]
Services
VR Group operates long-distance services with InterCity and Pendolino type rolling stock on the line. All of these services call in Loimaa and Humppila on their route.[3]
