Porvoo–Kerava 1874
152 years of railway history — now a heritage railway
The Porvoo–Kerava railway opened on 18 November 1874, making it one of Finland's oldest railway lines. Today the museum section runs 16 km from Porvoo station to the Olli junction, crossing three historic steel bridges.
Porvoon museorautatie ry (Porvoo Heritage Railway Association) maintains the track and rolling stock entirely with volunteers. The railway became privately owned on 6 October 2025, and PMR is now fully responsible for its upkeep.

The railway
The Heritage Railway — Porvoo–Olli, 16 km
The heritage line runs 16 km between Porvoo and Olli, about 38 minutes one way. Individual departures may run different routes — always check the current schedule.
Built in the 1950s at Valmet's aircraft factory in Tampere, the Dm 7 is a diesel multiple unit railcar recognisable by its low flat roof — hence the nickname Lättähattu (flat hat). Valmet 815D engine, 180 hp, top speed 95 km/h.
The route crosses three historic steel truss bridges over the Porvoo river and its tributaries. The Ali-Vekkoski (Söderveckoski) railway bridge is one of the highlights of the journey; the Kiiala bridge was recently restored.
