AS Eesti Liinirongid, operating as Elron, is a government-owned passenger train operator in Estonia.


The company was separated from Eesti Raudtee in 1998. Before 2014, the company operated exclusively the electrified commuter rail system in Harjumaa, and was known until October 2013 as Elektriraudtee, i.e. "the Electrical Railway". On January 1, 2014 Elron took over all domestic passenger train services in Estonia from Edelaraudtee.

Network



Inter-city rail


















Elron operates inter-city trains from Tallinn's Balti jaam on several lines: Tallinn–Tartu–Valga (connecting to Pasažieru vilciens trains to Riga), Tallinn–Tartu–Koidula, Tallinn–Narva, Tallinn–Pärnu and Tallinn–Viljandi.



Tallinn commuter rail










Tallinn commuter rail network is electrified, and it extends east and west from Balti jaam, the total length of the network being 132 km. The eastbound line goes to Aegviidu. The westbound line goes to the town of Keila, where it divides into two branches continuing towards the cargo-harbour city of Paldiski and inland to Riisipere. The Paldiski branch splits at Klooga, with a short spur going to the beach at Klooga-rand.


In 2007 Elektriraudtee opened its first express service from Tallinn to Keila, which stops only at the busiest stations. In 2008 the express service from Tallinn to Aegviidu was opened.


Work to upgrade track and stations has been ongoing since 2010.[1]



Rolling stock




Stadler Flirt in Keila


Elron currently uses Stadler FLIRT electric and diesel trains. Delivery of the 12 three-car and 6 four-car electric and 6 two-car, 8 three-car and 6 four-car diesel Stadler FLIRT trains built by Stadler Rail started in 2012; by June 2014 all trains have arrived in Estonia.[2][3]


As of 2017, all of the old soviet trains are retired.

Makefile test if variable is not empty

Makefile test if variable is not empty In a makefile I'm trying to I've created this simplified makefile to demonstrate my problem. Neither make a or make b executes the body of the if, I don't understand why not. make a make b .PHONY: a b a: $(eval MY_VAR = $(shell echo whatever)) @echo MY_VAR is $(MY_VAR) $(info $(MY_VAR)) ifneq ($(strip $(MY_VAR)),) @echo "should be executed" endif @echo done b: $(eval MY_VAR = $(shell echo '')) @echo MY_VAR is $(MY_VAR) $(info $(MY_VAR)) ifneq ($(strip $(MY_VAR)),) @echo "should not be executed" endif @echo done I'm using $ make --version GNU Make 3.81 There are several problems, and misunderstandings. Your MY_VAR is a make variable, set it without a <tab> to its value, and no need to $(eval ...) . MY_VAR:=$(shell echo whatever) is enough. No <tab> before $(info ...) neither, this is make – Zelnes ...
