The first train of this spring to Humppila pulled by TU4 diesel locomotive ran on Good Friday on 2.4. The crew of the train was Marko Laine, Tuomas Juhantila and Teemu Virtanen. The trip went well, even there was quite a lot of snow on the track and especially the railway crossings were packed with frozen snow.

Aftre lot of shoveling of snow and removing ice the train arrived at Humppila making the trip in little bit less than two hours.


The track is in good condition after winter. In spring the track needs to be lifted a little bit at Saustila culvet near Minkiö station. In addition to that there are two renovated switches to be installed at Minkiö. The traffic to Jokioinen and Minkiö station tracks will be only possible after the switches are on their place.
