Today we are again talking about an interesting railway project – but this time we would rather not add the “mega” attribute… Still, it more than deserves to be talked about!
Namely, if executed, it will be another example of amazing engineering achievement, not only in railways but in transport in general. It is about the Finnish-Norwegian initiative to connect the south of Finland with the Norwegian ports on the Arctic Ocean and establish the first railway between these two Scandinavian countries.
It is so special, well, because we are speaking about the Arctic circle! This railway is not a new idea, however, it was put on hold a few years ago… But, the war in Ukraine revived the idea again.
The so-called Arctic Railway is also connected in the south with two more projects that we talked about earlier on the channel – Rail Baltica and the Helsinki–Tallinn Tunnel.
The Arctic railway has the potential to literally be a game changer on a global scale, observed as part of the world transport system. The reason for this is that Arctic Railway, along with the Helsinki-Tunnel and Rail Baltica, could open a completely new, fast connection, from Central and Northern Europe to the ports in Asia via the Northern Sea Route – which, in light of climate change (melting ice in northern sea routes), becomes much more competitive transport option.

Great video!
But I don‘t understand the rationales:
1. First you mentioned the war in Ukraine, but how would a new port and railway next to Russia's border be safe? How would a northern sailing path to Asia along the Russian northern coast be safe?
2. Apart from direct shipment from eastern or northern Europe to Asia, adding a 2000 km railway journey from central or western Europe would not make much economic sense.
I really like that you guys show a light at a very underdeveloped area of railways (northern Scandinavia) but by only mentioning the kirkenes route you guys didn’t show the potential of the other route; as with the haparanda and svapavaara line maybe upgraded/expanded and the possibility of the western line from kolari to tromsø actually being a better option with considerations on defense
4:45
That route is a non option for Norway.
We don't want a railway that close to Russia for security reasons.
Essentially it makes sense for us to intentionally keep the infrastructure there limited.
If they want Norwegian support I suggest picking a more western route.
In terms of delivery of social services and tourism the line is justified – cargo is a bonus. Rail trips from Sicily to Kirkenes would become a tourist thing all year round, especially summer
This project is really exciting, but your analysis about using the NEP is the weakest part of this video also because of the Russian war in Ukraine. NEP, or traditionally in Russian Nothern Sea route (Северный морской путь) is now fully administrated and controlled by Russian Federation. This country is trying to develop this route for some years (the goal is perennial operation and 80 mn tons of transit goods every year), but it is on the very initial position. Not only because of the extremely hard climate of the region, but also because of really high self cost of transit (now transit costs for goods in NEP is an order of magnitude more expensive than by the traditional Suez route). Also time what you said about (from mid-Aug to mid-November) is already wider and realistically can be perennial (because Russians have one very important and unique thing for that – a fleet of nuclear ice-breaking ships), but for that two main thing are necessary: 1) about 6 nuclear ships more; 2) peace in Europe and cooperation with Russia. Unfortunately without those there is no any possibility to use NEP for free and worldwide transit of cargo.
Will that railway use 4' 81/2" (1435mm)like the rest of Europe ( excluding Russia, etc…) or the current 1524 used in Finland?
The people who came up with idea just need to chill!
0:53 if you are gonna use the sami and kven name for kirkenes, why not for tromsø and narvik too?
Transport by ship is by far the cheapest method available. How will adding 2000km rail in between yourself and the harbor make that better?
You forgot to mention the mess of Gauges this would create.
The Norwegian and Swedish network are standard gauge, the Finnish is broad gauge. The baltic state´s systems are broad gauge, but Rail Baltica is planed with standard gauge track to better connect the baltic states into the european union´s rail network via Poland. If they build the tunnel between Finnland and Estonia, they will connect 2 broad gauge systems, but not to Rail Baltica.
Ultimate solution would be if the European Union will pay the baltic states plus Finnland to change their whole networks to standard gauge, then everything would be really interconnected and RIV freight cars can run from Kirkenes to Sicily or Greece without any issue. Even without the tunnel to Estonia, the line could be connected to the swedish networn in Tornio and reach central and souther europe through Sweden, Denmark and Germany.
I don't know how the problem with the sami people and their concerns can be solved, but a rail link like this would really be 'revolutionary'. Not least because it would be a game-changer in matters of rail gauge even in Finland: If the future spur line from Rail Baltica in Estonia (through the tunnel to be built) to Helsinki airport comes in standard gauge 1.44 m (as can be expected), and given that Sweden and Norway use standard gauge, it would make little sense to build this new link in traditional russian broad gauge, just because Finland so far has used it. This would then mean, both gauges are inside the country – to coexist, for the time being. Then let's see if pressure builds to adapt more of the network to standard gauge, for increased interoperability…
This is just fantasy. First of all, leave the fossils in the arctic in peace, we don't need to burn that, thanks. Moreover let's not pretend that the port would serve any other countries than the ones around the Baltic. It makes zero sense to haul the cargo by train from the arctic circle to central europe when you can just have the container ship sail a bit further to hamburg and rotterdam and get closer to the point of distribution.
Besides how long would the trains have to be to carry off a container ship's worth of cargo – like 20,000 containers or more to central or western europe. The rail network has to serve passengers too.
Cargo from countries around the mediterranean are better off just using the mediterranean ports anyway. It would take a long time hauling all that to the north probably negating the benefits of using the northern sea route.
Seeing that the current Labour government tried to cancel the short but important "Ringeriksline", I doubt they'll ever care about this major arctic railroad. Luckily a broad group in parliament stopped them, but funding is still lacking.
I don't see anything in this video that would apply to the United Nations Climate change disclaimer posted above. I'd just stay away from the United Nations International Panel on Climate Change reports. They only discuss global warming in terms of greenhouse gasses and clearly and transparently state they took their greenhouse gas samples at an altitude of 20,000 meters outside the troposphere where earth's greenhouse effect takes place due to water vapor at over 99% to a low estimate of 97% and way into the stratosphere where water vapor is near zero. It is impossible for non condensing greenhouse gasses to significantly change the greenhouse effect even if their concentrations were cut in half or doubled.
A highly observable observation that human caused carbon dioxide emissions have no significant effect on global warming is after global warming was rising at 0.1°Cs per decade in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s after reaching 1.1°C in the early 1990s it is still being reported at 1.1°C over twenty five years later in 2022! A reasonable estimate for increased global temperatures due to human caused CO2 emissions is 1/100°C due to its weak greenhouse gas effect. The Arctic is warming. The most promising theory for that is warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating into the Arctic Ocean.
Instead of that it would perhaps make more sense to have a dual gauge railway from Tornio all the way to Helsinki. There is already Haaparanta – Narvik connection to the Arctic ocean.
Russia already has ports in the Arctic sea and an extensive railway network.
Does climate change matter? Do railways work when they are under water? Maybe take all the energy and money that is put into denying reality and work on regreening our home.
Norway should trade that strip of Artic coast to Finland for a railroad access to the sea and save itself a billion euros. 🤠
How much more expensive is it to put the railway underneath where the grazing for the reindeer are is this a possible fix
8:24 France and Poland have their own high sea ports. The benefits of the project for Central and Western Europe would be minimal. This is really something that needs to work for Finland and the Baltic states. And the North-East passage relies on Russian nautical support – not something that can be relied upon in the current climate.
Do not forget that the Swedish lines are already conncted to mainland Europe via the Øresund bridge. With a branch line (Ofotbanen/Malmbanan) to the ice free port of Narvik, Norway. And – unless Finland and the Baltic states change gauges, the new arctic line with connecting trunk lines will be dual gauge or normal gauge only. The latter is not ideal. This really adds costs and complexity. Then, security issues. Finland will join NATO, that will guard the project against Russian expansion or threats. But if Russia turns into a new North Korea, the Northern passage will most likely be blocked. Reducing the value of the Kirkenes port.
