Rail Baltica to construct largest Baltic rolling stock depot in Estonia by 2028

Rail Baltica Estonia has announced plans to construct a high-speed train depot in Rae municipality, which is set to become the largest rolling stock depot in the Baltic region. This facility aims to consolidate maintenance, repair, and operations for the Rail Baltica project.

The new depot is expected to create between 150 and 200 permanent jobs, contributing to local employment and supporting the broader economic development of the area. The project aligns with Rail Baltica’s commitment to enhancing rail infrastructure and services in Estonia.

Construction of the depot is scheduled to be completed by 2028, coinciding with the ongoing development of the Rail Baltica railway line, which aims to connect the Baltic states with the European rail network.

Details regarding the specific investment amount and the contractors involved in the project have not been disclosed. However, the establishment of this depot is a significant step in advancing high-speed rail capabilities in the region.

As the project progresses, further updates are anticipated, particularly concerning the operational aspects and the integration of the depot with existing rail services.
