Our history
The history of GoRail dates back to 1870, which saw the opening of the Baltic railway and the first railway line between Estonia and Russia. Cargo and passengers were transported between the two countries using steam trains. The transition to motor trains was made during the Soviet era.
The state enterprise Estonian Railways Ltd was established on 1 January 1992 with the aim of managing Estonia’s railways. In 1998, the joint undertaking EVR Ekspress was formed from the international passenger carriage department of Estonian Railways Ltd. Business operations commenced on 1 April 1999. The company’s main activity was operating the Tallinn-Moscow and Tallinn-St Petersburg routes. In addition, it managed the repair and maintenance of rolling stock in its early years.
In January 2005, Go Group acquired EVR Ekspress shares. That same year, the company was merged with Go Group and renamed GoRail.
In addition to carriage, GoRail has managed the repair and maintenance of rolling stock, which has now been moved to Go Group’s other company Go Craft.
In 2019, GoRail further expanded its activities to railway freight carriage.
