Project Status:
Railway line Riga - Ogre - section of the line Riga - Aizkraukle - Krustpils of the Latvian Railway.
In the late 1950s - early 1970s, the Riga - Aizkraukle section, the longest electrified line in Latvia, was electrified. As part of this, in 1959, according to the Lengiprotrans project, the Riga-Ogre section was electrified for a direct current of 3 kV.
The transfer of the railway to electric traction has made it convenient transport links between the resort areas of the Baltic coast and other regions of the country.
