The Rokua railway or Children's Land Railway (Finnish: Rokuan rautatie or Finnish: Lastenmaan rautatie), was a 3.3km (02.1miles) long[1] narrow gauge railway operating in the Rokua region in Utajärvi municipality in Finland. The railway was opened in July 1986[1] and had a gauge of 900mm.[1]
The line was demolished by Utajärvi municipality in May 2022, when the price of scrap steel was high.[2]
The line connected the Hotel Rokuanhovi with the Rokua Fitness Centre, running through moraine and dune covered terrain. There were balloon loops at both ends of the line,[1] and the passenger carriages had doors on only one side. There were no intermediate stations.
The train was hauled by a DHL-15 diesel hydraulic locomotive equipped with 37.5-kilowatt Dent engine.[1] The locomotive weighs around five tonnes.[1] The two 24-seat passenger carriages were made by Tuomo Takalo ky of Nivala.[1] After the closure and demolition, the locomotive and one coach was retained as a memorial.[2]
