New modern Škoda 16Ev trains in Latvia are being tested before entering the operations. In this Short video we see Škoda 16Ev train (Skoda16Ev-0004) on a test ride in Riga, Latvia. The Skoda 16Ev train is passing through Imanta station, during the first test ride along the Tukuma line (Jurmala line). These new Latvian trains will soon start to carry passengers along electrified railways in Latvia. Trains in Latvia run on "russian gauge" of 1520 mm. This year, Škoda will start gradually replacing the old soviet ER2 trains that still run operate on latvian railways. These new Skoda trains for Latvia are built by Škoda Transpotation (Škoda Vagonka) and will be operated by "Pasažieru vilciens". The rail infrastructure is managed by "Latvijas Dzelzceļš".
