WELCOME TO VALLILA TRAIN FACTORY
The vast Train Factory halls, designed by Bruno Granholm, were completed in 1901. Operations started in 1903, and the workshop produced most of the wooden passenger carriages and all steel wagons for local traffic used in Finland. Later the factory was used to manufacture and maintain railway wagons. The largest assembly hall was over one hectare, and by the late 1950s, around 1,500 staff were employed there. Today, a residentia l area called Konepaja is being built on the machine shop area and its former railway yard. The industrial halls built at the turn of the 20th century have been protected and re-used; they are now called the Vallila Magazines/The Train Factory.
