Track extension project to river Loimijoki starts

A long time planned 800 m track extension from Jokioinen station along the old unused trackbed to the center of Jokioinen manor area has got its first step forward. Survey has been made on the site and first plans have been made to rebuild the existing unused track and move the end point of the railway closer to area which have more tourism potential. Next phase on the project will be making a contract on track access on government land.
