Train summer

Train summer is over and here is one photo per every place, where I  visited.

So this summer has been very abundant, but not only with trains. I have spotted lots of buses, and at july some metro trains too, like in Helsinki's metro depot!
 

So check out my Youtube,  Instagram and Facebook! I have lots of new (and old) material coming!

Abandoned tracks, track inspection and... SHUNTING IN MIKKELI??!!

Mikkeli's freight traffic is dead. In "good old days" Mikkeli had several industrial tracks.

Tuppurala industrial track
Last trains were to plywood mill in 1986. Demolished in 1990s. I've made video about it, and in my finnish website is photos.

Pursiala industrial track
To power plant was still traffic sometimes in 1990s. Switch removed in 2004. I will make video about it soon. Photos in here.

Tusku industrial track
Traffic ended and  track closed in 2001. Demolished. Something might be coming soon.

Imbregation's track
Track was closed in 2000s. Sidetracks demolished.


Mill's track
Closed maybe 1960s. Demolished.

Hankkija's track
Still in use in 1980s. demolished.

 Track inspection

Track geometry car visited in Mikkeli again. In next year new track inspection train will come, and this one will be abandoned.

And then... Shunting in Mikkeli?!
As I said freight train traffic in Mikkeli is dead since 2012, but in Mikkeli is now russian wagons standing and waiting for moving to Pori. One train leaved today and other will leave in thursday. I have filmed today's train and video will come to Youtube tomorrow in 12.00 (UTC+2, finnish time. In UTC-time it's 10.00)
