Track gauge in Estonia
Estonia mainly uses a track gauge of 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) or 1,524 mm (5 ft), inherited from the Russian Empire times.
Russian and 5 ft gauges
- Soviet Union
Estonia converted relatively late from the Soviet Union's redefinition of the gauge from 1,524 mm (5 ft) to 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in).
- Post-independence
Since post-independence all renovated tracks owned by Eesti Raudtee have gauge 1,524 mm. Other tracks have gauge 1,520 mm.
Standard gauge proposals
There has been a proposal from the EU to build a standard gauge railway from Tallinn to Warsaw, the Rail Baltica.
Narrow gauge
Historically Estonia had 750 mm (2 ft 5+1⁄2 in) narrow-gauge installations. The tram network in Tallinn has a track gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in).
