Reconstruction of the Lelle - Viljandi section to the 1520 mm track

Project Status: 
Переустройство участка Лелле — Вильянди на колею 1520 мм

The Lelle - Viljandi railway line is a section of the Tallinn - Viljandi railway in Estonia. It was built in the late 19th - early 20th centuries as a narrow gauge railway.

In the period 1960-1980, Lengiprotrans was engaged in design work to rewire sections of the Baltic railways to a wide track for convenient transport links between the republics. In particular, the reconstruction of the Lelle - Viljandi section to the 1520 mm track was planned.
