Three times a week, limestone trains from Ida‑Viru County have begun passing through Eesti Raudtee's freight yard in Tallinn, heading to Pärnu County for Rail Baltica construction. A single freight train carries up to 1,800 tonnes.

Based on 100 to 120 ton capacity, 15 to 18 wagons per train seems short.
In 2001 BHP created a 682 wagon train carrying 82,000 tons of iron ore.

15 Wagons is still quite short. I regularly see longer trains.

Maybe they can only handle that amount at a time on the end side
