Rovaniemi railway station
- Rovaniemi railway station
Rovaniemi railway station is located in Rovaniemi, Finland. The line from the south opened in 1909; it is now the northernmost point of VR's electrified railway system, with direct daytime and overnight passenger trains to Oulu, Tampere, Helsinki and Turku. The electrification project was completed in 2004; previously trains were diesel-hauled.
The railway was extended beyond Rovaniemi to Kemijärvi in 1934. Diesel-powered passenger trains still operate on this route, although the future of this service is uncertain as at Spring 2007.
