## Transport

Mockava railway station.

The [Rail Baltica](/source/Rail_Baltica) project runs through the area. A [break-of-gauge facility](/source/Break_of_gauge) at Mockava allows [rolling stock](/source/Rolling_stock) to be exchanged, between the European standard gauge, 1435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in), and the 1520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) gauge of former [satellite states](/source/Satellite_state#Post-World_War_II) of the [Soviet Union](/source/Soviet_Union). To speed up through traffic, a [track-gauge changing facility](/source/Bogie_exchange) operates, which includes the [SUW 2000](/source/SUW_2000) [variable gauge axle](/source/Variable_gauge_axle) system that allows fitted trains to pass through the break of gauge at walking pace.
