Vaalankurkku railway bridge

Mist rising from the Oulujoki river embraces the Vaalankurkku railway bridge near Vaala station on the VR Group railway in Finland.

VR or VR Group (VR-Yhtymä) is a state-owned railway company, formerly known as Valtionrautatiet, in Finland. Its most important function is the operation of freight and passenger rail services. Maintenance and construction of the railway network itself is the responsibility of the Finnish Rail Administration (Ratahallintokeskus - RHK). Both operation and network were originally handled by the parent company Valtionrautatiet, which split into the two current companies.
