Lahti Railway Station
The Lahti railway station ( fi, Lahden rautatieasema, sv, Lahtis järnvägsstation) is located in the city of Lahti in Finland. History During the planning stages of the Saint Petersburg railway, two track alignment options were weighed with regard to connecting the fledgling Finnish railways with the important waterborne route on lake Päijänne: one passing through Anianpelto in Asikkala on the narrow isthmus between lake Vesijärvi and the Päijänne, and another grazing the Vesijärvi on its southern shore, in the village of Lahti in Hollola. The plan to build the line via Lahti was officialized in 1864, largely due to pragmatic reasons: the line turned out approximately shorter than should have it be built through Anianpelto, amounting to a time save of about two hours per trip between Helsinki and St. Petersburg. The diet of Finland in its 1867 session accepted the Senate's proposal to initiate work on the St. Petersburg railway in the following year. The fast schedu ...
