The history of Operail is closely interlinked with the history of the Estonian railway. The beginning of rail transport in Estonia can be traced to an event that took place on 24 October 1870, with the opening of the first rail connection in Estonia, the Paldiski–Tallinn–Narva–Gatchina line. On 15 November 1918, the Northwest Railway (Looderaudtee), the First Approach Track Association (Esimese Juurdeveoteede Selts), and the field railway sections of the army and maritime fortress provided the basis for the formation of an independent company, Republic of Estonia Railway (Eesti Vabariigi Raudtee), which also offered freight services.

In the summer of 2018, we changed our name and identity. We feel that the new new name and identity better represent the nature and goals that we strive for as an international market-oriented logistics and transport company. Freight transport, despite being an essential part of EVR Cargo’s identity, has not been our sole business focus for quite some time. We see expanding to multiple different directions in the future and for us it is important to adapt with the changing world to be more than just a railway.
