Suomen Raideleveys: Finland’s Unique Railway Gauge
Finland’s railway system stands apart from much of Europe due to its unique track gauge: 1,524 mm (5 ft). This broad gauge, significantly wider than the standard gauge of 1,435 mm (4 ft 8 1⁄2 in) used by most European countries, including neighboring Sweden, plays a critical role in the nation’s railway infrastructure and its historical and geopolitical context.
