Turku–Toijala railway

The Turku–Toijala railway (Turku–Toijala-rata, 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.

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.
