The Liiva - Lelle - Pärnu railway line is a section of the Estonian Railway connecting the capital of the country Tallinn (Liiva is part of the Tallinn junction) with the Baltic coast in Pärnu. The road was opened in the late 1920s with a narrow gauge of 750 mm.
The project of re-linking the railway section to a wide track of 1520 mm was developed by Lengiprotrans in the 1970s. This contributed to the creation of a direct route Riga - Tallinn with a length of 350 km.
