dm-puska_retsina049 Don't walk on the tracks or you'll be fined!
dm-puska_retsina050 Soon after Härkönen comes something worth seeing.
dm-puska_retsina051 The Keiturinsalmi bridge is 81 meters long.
dm-puska_retsina052 Planks are in good condition and there is absolutely no danger in walking around and admiring the views.
dm-puska_retsina053 Soon after the bridge, damn, a bunch of draisines. Whoever owns them, seems to think that the whole line is reserved for them only.
dm-puska_retsina054 This rail seems to have been brand new when installed here before 1937, when the line to Virrat was finished.
dm-puska_retsina055 Finally we run into Western caution signal of Virrat. To get here on wheels, one must cross a motor sleigh bridge first.
dm-puska_retsina056 It's an Aga, which also reveals what is its functioning principle. Fueled by gas.
dm-puska_retsina057 Maintenance ladders are still present.
dm-puska_retsina058 600 meters East there is the semaphore. One of the last ones (if not one of the two last?) standing in Finland.
dm-puska_retsina066 Looking closer reveals it's starting to rust seriously.
dm-puska_retsina059 Almost functioning mechanisms.
dm-puska_retsina065 Cables go loosely toward the station of Virrat. We follow.
