Внутрипортовые железнодорожные пути в Риге

The Port of Riga is a large ice-free port in the capital of Latvia. Most of the cargo turnover is made up of transit cargo, the main of which are: coal, oil products, timber and container cargo.

In 1950-1960s Lengiprotrans developed a project for the railways of the Port of Riga. During the Soviet period, the ports of the Baltic Sea were important transit centers, in connection with which it was necessary to develop their transport infrastructure.
