European Railroad Discussion > Week in the East - Part 6 - LithuaniaDate: 06/17/16 14:46 Week in the East - Part 6 - Lithuania Author: dwatry We got a rental car to drive from Riga to Kaunas, Lithuania, so we could explore the area our family came from, which was the area around Baisogala, Lithuania. The next day, we took the train from Kaunas to Vilnius. Both Kaunas and Vilnius have trolleybus systems, largely consisting of Skoda trolleybuses, but with some Solaris trolleybuses also.

On the way into town, we caught sight of a train leaving with a diesel locomotive and 4-5 coaches. At the yard, however, there was no activity, no staff, and no information about when the service operated.
