that would be so good. Back in (guess what year) we had plane tickets and hotel reservations for a family trip to the Baltic States plus Finland, but everything was canceled. At the time, I was unsure how we were going to transit the borders. Sadly, the trip has still not been accomplished. A through train line would be fantastic.
