RE: Railway to Lahti Stadium + Old Steam Locomotive
Did you manage to find out why the stadium had train tracks so close?, well I suppose they modify the sports center for another sport because the winter has already passed, or is it simple a coincidence the works they are doing? that is cool, "markkujantunen pathfinder" (I always wanted to use that word ) how long did you have to walk to find that jewel? half mile or 1 mile maybe.
It was indeed built to bring spectators to skiing events. I found an article in the regional newspaper about "a nostalgic Ski Games train" bringing people directly to the stadium in January 2017. The cars were built in the 1950's.

I only had to walk about one kilometre or less.
I suppose the stadium renovations are just routine work that has to be done from time to time.
