Valdeku train stop

On 10 December 2017 the Valdeku train stop was opened in Nõmme, becoming the fourth stop on the route from Tallinn to the south-west, between the Liiva and Männiku stops. 12 trains travelling in each direction will be stopping at Valdeku every day.

The Valdeku train stop platform is 150 metres long and has two passenger pavilions. Simultaneously with the construction of that platform the pedestrian crossings and pavements next to the Valdeku overpass were overhauled. The areas adjacent to the platform and the vehicle crossing were improved, the unauthorised structures alongside Mahla Street were demolished and the household rubbish dumps were removed.

The Valdeku train stop has long been needed by the residents of Nõmme and Männiku. Now they can reach the centre of Tallinn by train in just 15 minutes. The new stop is also convenient for those wishing to reach Männiku by train and then continue on to Nõmme or Mustamäe by other means.

Reconstruction of the Tallinn–Rapla railway section

The immediate objective of the project is to make the railway infrastructure of Edelaraudtee AS on the Tallinn–Rapla section comply with applicable requirements and to take long rails into use in order to ensure safety, comfort and quality improvements in railway traffic as well as increase the allowed speed of passenger trains up to 120 km/h. For that purpose the permanent way on the Tallinn–Rapla section will either be repaired or overhauled, depending on the actual technical state of its subsections.

The project involves:

reconstruction of 47 km of railway, including the introduction of long rails, repair of the formation and replacement of the ballast (crushed rock), 6 main-line switches, surfaces of 17 level crossings and automatic traffic light system on 3 level crossings, and partial replacement of rails and sleepers. One decrepit and dangerous overpass will be torn down and 11 crossings will be reconstructed. In addition, 1 new railway stop with a 150 m platform and 1 passing loop will be constructed.

Project cost: €13,091,855.16 (incl. €10,000,000 from the EU Cohesion Fund and €3,091,855.16 from Edelaraudtee AS)
Main contractor: GoTrack OÜ
Project implementation: from 1 Jan. 2015 to 31 Dec. 2017

Making passenger platforms comply with EU height requirements

The objective of the project was to ensure usability of all passenger platforms of Edelaraudtee AS upon arrival of new diesel trains.

For that purpose 14 passenger platforms were modified and 1 new train stop with a passenger platform and the related infrastructure, incl. crossings, access ways, squares, etc., were constructed. When designing and reconstructing the passenger platforms and crossings, the height requirements and other technical parameters stipulated in EVS 867 (Railway applications – Passenger platforms) were abided by. In addition to servicing the new diesel trains, this also gives mobility-challenged people easy access to the platforms and trains.

Modified passenger platforms:

Tallinn-Väike (between tracks)
Liiva (between tracks)
Saku
Kiisa
Roobuka
Hagudi (between tracks)
Rapla (between tracks)
Lelle (on the side and between tracks)
Käru
Viluvere
Tootsi
Pärnu
Türi (on the side and between tracks)

As a result of the project, all passenger platforms of Edelaraudtee AS meet the requirements of the applicable standard and the EU, being 550 mm high and suitable for servicing the new type of diesel trains.

Reconstruction of Türi–Viljandi railway section

The objective of the project was to make the railway infrastructure of Edelaraudtee Infrastruktuuri AS on the Türi–Viljandi section comply with the applicable technical requirements.

Long rails were used to ensure improved safety, comfort and quality of the railway traffic and increase the allowed speed of passenger trains to 120 km/h.

The project involved:

reconstruction of railway sections between stations on the Türi–Võhma line and Võhma–Viljandi line and the main tracks in the Võhma Station (the deteriorated permanent way was replaced with a new one);
along with the reconstruction of the track structure, the level crossings, bridges and culverts on the Türi–Viljandi section were repaired;
• non-compliant passenger platforms were demolished and replaced with new modern passenger platforms that meet the EU height requirements, plus the construction of the related crossings, ramps, parking spaces, etc.

In the period from 2010 to 2012, the following were reconstructed and repaired:

52.08 km of track structures
14 level crossings
6 passenger platforms
3 railway bridges
37 culverts

Construction of a new station building and an auxiliary building in Kohila

The newly constructed station building in Kohila marked the end of the reconstruction of the Kohila station complex. This was a follow-up project to the earlier modification of the track structures and reconstruction of passenger platforms. Currently Kohila Station is able to accommodate 3 passenger trains simultaneously. The station has 2 platforms and enough parking spaces for cars and bicycles.

Following the recommendation of the National Heritage Board, the logs of the old station building were reused. The old documents and other items related to the station are in the Hageri Museum.

Kohila is one of the most important stations for Edelaraudtee AS. Around 20,000 passengers use the station each month, and we have invested more than a million euros in this station complex in the last three years.
