Unusual evening

Few days ago we noticed a small note near the local train dispatcher office. Track maintenance work was scheduled for the following weeks. One night later we decided to check out whats happening.

Empty Chemical train

One the way to the spot we noticed empty chemical train heading to east. This pic was taken from a car, I wasn’t driving.

IC² 115

Late night stranger, IC² 115 stops in Kausala at 23:29. This is only IC train that stops here.

Freight

Now the abnormalities start, Freight train coming into normally unused track 3 and proceeding thru crow (all black signal) to wrong side of tracks eg. normally trains drive on right but this time it drove on left. Only one track was usable that night.

Track maintenance crew

Track maintenance crew laying cable near Uusikylä. This was the reason why only one track was in use.

Train dispatcher's office

And finally, Inside the local train dispatcher’s office. This place only controls the local yard, nothing else.
