The Zemitāni–Skulte Railway is a long,[1] gauge railway in Latvia built in the 20th century to connect Riga and Rūjiena.[2] The railway was originally part of the Mangaļi–Rūjiena Railway that opened 1937. In 1981 the line became part of the Riga–Tallinn Railway, with a travel time of five hours. In 1992, the Riga–Tallinn Railway was stopped at the border with Estonia.[3] The Zemitāni–Skulte Railway got its present length in 1996 after the twice weekly service to Limbaži was discontinued due to the financial downturn following the collapse of the Soviet Union. [4] The railway past Skulte was removed in 2004.
