- Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
- Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
- You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is

The Finnish Main Line (Finnish: Päärata; Swedish: Stambanan) is a 810-kilometre (500 mi) long electrified group of mainlines(Helsinki-Riihimäki,Riihimäki-Tampere,Tampere-Seinäjoki-Seinäjoki-Oulu) commonly called the Finnish Main Line in Finland between the cities of Helsinki and Oulu. The Main Line was first opened on March 17, 1862; at that point, the 108-kilometre (67 mi) railway line only ran from Helsinki to Hämeenlinna.[1][2]
The railway serves Helsinki, Riihimäki, Hämeenlinna, Tampere, Parkano, Seinäjoki, Kokkola, Ylivieska and Oulu. The future Suomirata project aims to improve the current Riihimäki–Tampere section by either building additional tracks alongside the existing main line or an entirely new straight line.[3] The goal is to reduce the travel time from Tampere to Helsinki from the current 1 hour 33 minutes to about an hour.[3]
