Ilmala depot (Finnish: Ilmalan varikko) is a railway depot owned and operated by the VR Group in Pohjois-Pasila, Helsinki. It is located to the west of the Posti distribution centre, south of Hakamäentie, east of Veturitie and north of the Postipuisto development area. The entire depot area is roughly 60 hectares (150 acres) in size, and it contains 65 km (40 mi) of rails. Roughly 800 people work in the area.[1] The depot maintains the majority of VR's long-distance rolling stock and all of its commuter rail rolling stock.[2]
