Operail is an Estonian railway company . The three pillars of the state-owned company are freight transport and the rental and repair of railroad cars and locomotives.
history
Operail was created in 2009 by splitting Eesti Raudtee into the subsidiaries EVR Cargo and EVR Infra . In September 2012 EVR Cargo was spun off as an independent company for rail freight transport. EVR Infra , on the other hand, was merged again with Eesti Raudtee , which has since acted purely as a railway infrastructure company . In 2018, EVR Cargo was renamed Operail .
vehicles
Currently, only diesel locomotives are used. The main load of the tasks is taken over by the locomotives of the class C36-7i , which were taken over from the USA during the short-term privatization of Eesti Raudtee at the beginning of the 21st century. Since the 2010s, the stock of shunting locomotives has also been modernized and expanded. Together with the Latvian company Digas , a locomotive will be converted to liquefied natural gas drive by summer 2020
Operail has a fleet of tank cars , open and covered freight cars , bulk freight cars and flat cars .
