West of Lahti the run starts over the classic Riihimäki – St Petersburg Railway. Traditionally the route to Helsinki was through Riihimäki – this involved trains running over two sides of a triangle with Helsinki bound trains making a sharp turn to the south just north of Riihimäki station. In 2006 a cut-off was built to eliminate this dog leg – Much of the new line parallels the E18 motorway to minimise environmental intrusion. The cut-off is double-track throughout and electrified at 25 kV 50 Hz. There are platform loops serving the two intermediate stations at Haarajoki and Mäntsälä. Narrated and filmed in HD
