Operail

Operail is a freight railway company based in Estonia. It was established in 2018 following the restructuring of Eesti Raudtee, the Estonian national railway company. Operail operates a significant portion of Estonia's freight railway traffic, specializing in the transportation of cargo such as oil shale, chemicals, metals, and timber. The company manages its own locomotive fleet and rolling stock, as well as providing railway infrastructure maintenance services.

The primary focus of Operail's operations is the transit of goods between Estonia and Russia, as well as domestic freight transport within Estonia. The company has been involved in efforts to modernize its fleet and improve operational efficiency. In recent years, Operail has also explored international expansion opportunities, including operations in Finland and Poland. However, the company's business has been significantly impacted by geopolitical events and sanctions related to Russia. Operail remains a key player in the Estonian logistics sector, contributing to the movement of industrial goods and raw materials.
