Minister of Transport and Communications Lulu Ranne (Finns) says that her ministry is completing a study on how to implement a passenger train connection from Tornio , Finland , to its neighbouring Swedish town of Haparanda .

The last section of the line, just over 20 kilometres long, was completed a couple of months ago .

There is no agreement on funding for the long-delayed cross-border rail project.

The safety of the level crossings on the track section has been improved, and the railway bridges have been widened. The River Tornio marks the border between the two countries. Necessary modifications have been made to the Tornio and Haparanda railyards, with passenger platforms built in each. The cost estimate is approximately 37 million euros, mostly paid for by Finland , with Sweden chipping in about seven million euros. The Finnish share is being paid by Traficom and Nesa with EU support as well as Tornio and Keminmaa ..
