>>537774420I hope you will die an agonizing death with your irrelevant "news"
>>537774420>for 100 years there has been railroads, for some reason nobody thought it would be prudent to go from Finland to SwedenProbably because it makes no sense driving all the way around when you can just take a ship straight across to the important parts?
>>537776416>>537775039heres a map I made for you, it explains the situation
>>537774420So we can attack Sweden easier now ?

>>537774420Lol this is so cool. In 2006 I caught a bus from Tornio to Haparanda. The bus driver spoke English and there were hot goth girls on the bus. Life was amazing then finnbro
>>537774420Do they really need a train there; there's fuck all people in the north anyway? I guess it's for brown people who can't afford cars.
>>537777755eventhough there is not a lot of people as a whole, Oulu is biggest city in northern EU and Luuleå is biggest city of north Swedenalso from Luuleåå you could continue 500 kilometers west to reach Moirana, a 18 000 people city in Norway
They avoid making rails for half our country to keep truckers employed.
LOL "new rail" to Haparanda? It was built to Haparanda from Boden (SWE) over 100 years ago and stopped by the border for obvious reasons (we cant trust the finns on the most simple of things, ie stopping some pescy Siberians).
Haparanda has 10k inhabitants you unreliable cocksucker. If you're going to keep spamming news you should get your facts straight, dear mr. retard.
>>537776960Yeah nobody wants to go to fucking Luulaja or Oulu

>>537778596>Luulaja or OuluThose are cities in Africa, right?
>>537774420Russian Empire built all the railroads. Today the politicians worship America on the other side of the world and ruin relations to Russia. No wonder the economy sucks

>>537774420I believe you can run a train in both Sweden and Finland, but also from Sweden to Finland and to Sweden from Finland, but I imagine they have a family package
>>537781305What kind of train, post pics of the inside and outside
>>537778814>Russian Empire built all the railroadsAnd left you with a track gauge incompatible with western Europe.

>>537778445>LOL "new rail" to Haparanda? It was built to Haparanda from Boden (SWE) over 100 years ago and stopped by the border for obvious reasons (we cant trust the finns on the most simple of things, ie stopping some pescy Siberians).It stopped there becasue Finland was russian territory back then and they had a different railway gauge. Nincompoop.
