The Saint Petersburg-Hiitola Railway is a 170-kilometre long railway with 1,520 mm (4 ft 11 5⁄6 in) broad gauge located in Saint Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast (Karelian Isthmus) and Republic of Karelia, which links Finlyandsky Rail Terminal to Hiitola (Russian: Hijtola, Khiytola) through Devyatkino, Vaskelovo, Sosnovo, Priozersk and Kuznechnoye. Originally built by Finnish State Railways in the Grand Duchy of Finland, the railway was part of a trunk line from Vaasa by the Gulf of Botnia to Saint Petersburg. In 1940 in the Moscow Peace Treaty the territory was ceded by Finland to the Soviet Union. The railroad is now operated by the Russian Railways. The railroad is used by passenger trains between Saint Petersburg and Sortavala. The track between Hiitola and Sortavala is part of the Vyborg-Joensuu railroad completed in 1894.
