The History of Railway Traffic at the Finland-Sweden Border
Haparanda and Tornio, Sweden and Finland, were connected by a railway link in 1919. Passenger trains between Tornio and Haparanda ceased operation in 1988. The rail connection is now electrified, enabling the return of passenger train services. Why was the connection originally built, what impact did it have on traffic, and why was it discontinued? Today, the railway link is once again seen as an important security gateway between Finland and Sweden, connecting these countries to Europe.
