tuotantoasema

Tuotantoasema is a production unit in the Finnish railway network. It is a type of rail transport facility that serves as a location where trains stop to undergo maintenance, repairs, or other necessary operations. Production areas are typically placed at the end or in the middle of a section or a line, and their correct location may vary depending on system needs and the operational rationality of the mobility network.

Production sections are usually funded by the Finnish State Rail Administration. The production areas often include stationary equipment and, in many cases, an assembly building for maintenance and repair work. They may be capable of transporting and testing wagons or even locomotives. People can also visit production areas.

Energy generation is achieved via a basic power supply derived from the electricity grid or occasionally in some more remote areas in some cases alternative energy supplies like diesel generators might be used. There are often significant energy needs involved due to the facilities' diverse types of machinery and equipment, and energy efficiency has been a growing interest in modern productions.

On occasion, section sections have interchangeable and diesel multiple units and a numerous fleet of standard hauled tank and parcel wagons. These units are located across large sections of transportation network and function alongside each other cohesively providing commercially viable trips over massive distances in unchanged timescales compared to cooperation among mainline engines.
