(I guess "furthest" East and West is relative to where one normally/currently lives - so, using Philly.)

Furthest I've been:
North: somewhere in Alaska when I was 14
West: Beijing
South: McAllen, TX
East: Budapest

(I thought for sure Morocco would be the furthest *somewhere* but maps say no.)

Die guten Nachrichten sind ja selten dieser Tage, aber hier kommt eine: Die finnische Regierung fördert den Zugverkehr zwischen #Tornio 🇫🇮 und #Haparanda 🇸🇪. Im nächsten Jahr soll es losgehen, es könnte bis zu 30 Zugfahren die Woche über die Grenze geben.

Suomesta voi matkustaa junalla muualle Eurooppaan ehkä jo keväällä – valtiolta 1,9 miljoonan lisärahoitus
Suomen ja Ruotsin välisen rataliikenteen käynnistymiseen tulee 1,9 miljoonan vuosittainen rahoitus valtiolta. Alueen kuntien aktiivisuudella oli ministerin mukaan merkitystä.

Also if Latvia and Lithuania DO manage to re-establish a #CrossBorderRail passenger train connection, that will leave only 2 internal borders of the EU where there are rail lines but there are no passenger services

Same with Oulu / Kemi 🇫🇮 to Haparanda 🇸🇪

Electrification ready, but no trains because Finnish gouvernment doesn't want to fund them.

Should these countries switch?

Finland 🇫🇮 - obviously not. They’ve got just 1 standard gauge line to a neighbour (Haparanda 🇸🇪)
Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania 🇪🇪 🇱🇻 🇱🇹 - Rail Baltica built standard gauge makes sense, case to regauge rest is weak
Ukraine 🇺🇦 - would take too long, cost too much, so also no

Odd train fact: Finland (fully integrated EU member, Euro, Schengen, the whole shebang) uses the Russian rail gauge.
There is a special dual-gauge bridge at Haparanda, for cross border 🇫🇮 🇸🇪 trains. Goods largely use maritime routes.
Finland is going to change to standard European gauge: 2025 decision

Seems like my friends and I won't need to take night train+crossing the border on foot or night train+bus on our way from Oulu to Haparanda in late summer 👀🇫🇮🇸🇪

If the 16:10 arrival time is in EEST it fits perfectly, as 15:21 CEST the Norrtåg to Boden leaves 👌🏻

(in Google Maps like this from 16 June)

🇸🇪⚡️🇫🇮 Die Elektrifizierung der Bahnstrecke von #Haparanda, Schweden nach #Tornio, Finnland ist abgeschlossen. Es wird aber vorerst keine grenzüberschreitenden Züge geben, da sich der finnische Staat bislang zu keiner Subventionierung des Verkehrs durchringen konnte.
