In 1851, the government of Russia made the decision to build the Warsaw – Saint Petersburg Railway. The line included a stretch from Daugavpils–Vilnius–Kaunas–Virbalis which was started in 1858 and finished in 1860. In 1941, most of the network was changed from broad gauge to standard gauge which was changed back by Soviets in 1944. The total rail length is 1 749 km and the track gauge is 1 520 mm.
