The railway network of Latvia reached its peak in 1938/ 1919, when
the total length o! the network was 3350 kilometres During tht
yeats of Latvia's independence the railways provided the backbone
for the transport system and the economy as a whole Having ex-
perienced the rapid development of automobile and air transpcrt i
tion Europe is now, at the start of the 21st century, returning to rail
transport, recognising it as an environ men (ally friendly, economical,
convenient and safe mode of transport The aim of this book is to
describe the origin and development or the railway network until it
reached its peak and to outline the fate of the lines until 1991, when
management ot the railway was taken over again by the independent
I Jtvian state In 1994 the state-owned joint stock company Latvijas
dzelzce|s founded a museum responsible for studying railway herit-
age and establishing a museum collection At last a!) the information,
images and cartographic material relating to the railway network in
Latvia have been collected and housed in one place The book pro-
vides a description of the railways, arranged in chronological order
of construction, revealing the unique details of each line and its fate
The photographs of stations and lialts, gleaned from the museum
collection and the collections of railway enthusiasts, provide in
insight into changes in the appearance of the railway surroundings
over the years
Although the research includes an extensive range of histori-
cal sources and literature, many questions still remain unanswered
During the course of writing this book, the authors consulted archi-
val material and publications, but it is the meticulous comparison
and scrutiny of annual reports, train schedules, maps, regulations as
well as eyewitness accounts that have aimed to dispel inaccuracies
that have crept in over the years, and to collate all the information
scattered in many locations
Documents located in the Latvian Railway Central Board Fund
No 4592 of the Latvian State Historical Archives were used as a pri-
mary source for the period between 1919 and 1945, as were some
documents from the turn of the 20th century It has been difficult to
locate an extensive collection of materials in the archives pertaining
to the period up to the founding of the Republic of Latvia Informa-
tion about the more important resolutions regarding railway policy
and the development of the railways was gleaned from other docu-
ments m the file: minutes of the meetings of the Railways Board,
management directions and directions of the Minister o! Transport
The internal communications of the Railway Central Board were
also studied, as was the communication between Latvian ministries
and foreign railway companies The Latvian Railway Central Board
Fund also provided technical information on the condition of the
railways in existence at the time and the construction of new lines
This information was firstly gleaned from the minutes of technical
committee meetings; it was also bund in technical materials such
as sketch albums, plans of railway lines, stations and bridges Doc-
umentation could not be found in relation to all lines and railway
structures, and thus, as the Railway Central Board Fund was not
comprehensive, it could only serve as a partial and incomplete his-
torical source when researching this book
The Latvian State Historical Archives could provide detailed in-
formation on the operations of two private railway joint stock com-
panies (the Valmiera Narrow Gauge Branch Line and the Liepaja
Aizpute Railway) from ! 924 to 1938, however this information does
not contribute much to the analysis of the development trends of
the Latvian railway network
An important primary source that is still overlooked is the Army
Military Field Transport Central Board Fund No 1S93 within the
Latvian State Historical Archives These documents relate to the
taking over ot management of railway lines and stations following
German occupation as well as the period of the struggle for inde-
pendence 1919-1920
Information about lailways in the territory ot Latvia 1940-1941
and 1944-1992 can be found in the State Archh es of Latvia Fund
No 93, entitled Balujas dztt;ct{a pdrvaldc un lm pMautm noddm
{The Baltic Railway Board and its subordinate departments) Aiarge
volume of information is available here, although it has not been fully
catalogued In writing this book, information has been included on
the structure ol railway management as well as the restoration and
construction of railway lines This archival material was essential in
helping to narrow down some key dates such as the construction
of buildings built during the Soviet era, the dates when service*, on
specific sections of the line were reopened and the dates when lines
were electrified
The other listed archival funds were used io obtain information
regarding sidings constructed to provide access to factories built
dunng the Soviet era, various government enterprises, military
zones, ports, forests, peat bogs and granite quarries
Maps and charts were an invaluable resource, as were postcards
and photographs from the Latvian Railway History Museum and
the private archives of Toms Altbergs and Dainis Puncuis Viewed in
the content ol timetables tor working and public trains, these photos
provide an insight into the history and name- of the stations, as well
as their changes of location |
