Every American transportation planner should spend a week in Helsinki (part 2 of 3)

Signs on the far side of track 9 at Pasila station

The westernmost track remaining at Pasila station is track 9. I’m standing on the platform (which serves tracks 8 and 9) and looking across the tracks at signs for the new development under construction on the former railyard brownfields and air rights over the tracks. The sign at right translates as “Western auxiliary 1st stage construction work completed 2019”; Liikennevirasto is the government office which owns and manages railway infrastructure;. The left-hand sign describes ongoing work to remediate contaminated soils in the former railyard.
