The track work started in September to correct and level track in worst places was completed in October. Jokioinen Museum Railway received earlier this year a 30 000 € grant from the Ministry of communications and transport for track maintenance. The track work was contracted to VR-Rata Oy.

At the same time with the track work also few small stone culverts have been renovated. During the years the frost has been moving stones and braking culverts. In the renovation the stones have been put back in their place and structure of culverts has been protected against further humidity and frost damages.

Railway ties on a bridge cross river Jänhijoki were replaced on one volunteer weekend. Old ties from the 1980's started to be at the end of their life span. The brand new ties were donated by Finnish Rail Administration RHK.

In September and October new ballast was added in many places on the Humppila-Jokioinen main line. The work was done using ex-VR broad gage gravel hopper put on top of narrow gage transportation flat.
