Balti jaam (literally the Baltic Station) is the main passenger railway station of Estonia's capital Tallinn.Stadler FLIRT in Ülemiste.
The rail transport system in Estonia consists of about 1,200 kilometres (750 mi) of railway lines, of which 900 kilometres (560 mi) are currently in public use. The infrastructure of the railway network is mostly owned by the state and is regulated and surveyed by the Estonian Technical Surveillance Authority (Estonian: Tehnilise Järelevalve Amet).
All public railways in Estonia are 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) (Russian gauge), the same as in Russia, Belarus, Latvia, and Lithuania. The 1,520 mm gauge used in Estonia is also compatible with Finland's 1,524 mm (5 ft) gauge. Sometimes it is defined to be 1,524 mm (see Rail gauge in Estonia), for example when buying track maintenance or vehicles from Finland.
Railways in Estonia today are used mostly for freight transport, but also for passenger traffic, with 8.3 million passengers reported in 2019.[1] Passenger transport is most frequent near Tallinn, centred on the main Tallinn Baltic Station.
The Tallinn to Tartu railway is due to be electrified by 2024, with electrification of the remaining network expected to be completed by 2028.[2] 16 new electric trains manufactured by Škoda Transportation are due to come into service starting 2024.[3]
