Rautatie

Rautatie is a Finnish word meaning "railway" or "railroad." It is a compound word formed from two parts:

• Rauta - Meaning "iron"
• Tie - Meaning "road" or "way"

Therefore, rautatie literally translates to "iron road" or "iron way," describing the tracks on which trains travel. The term refers to the entire railway system, including the tracks, infrastructure, and related services. In Finnish, rautatie is commonly used when discussing railway transport, infrastructure projects related to trains, and the overall railway network within Finland or globally.
