The Debaltseve Railway Station was opened in 1878 and gave rise to the town of Debaltseve in the Donetsk Oblast . It is on the railway line between Luhansk in the northeast and Horlivka and Donetsk in the southwest. Another route leads to Stakhanov .

At the end of the Russian Empire , the railway facilities were supplemented by one of the few marshalling yards with a waste mountain at that time .

Before the war began, there were direct long-distance connections to Kiev , Luhansk , Odessa , Simferopol and Kharkiv .

In mid-2014, rail traffic was stopped due to the war. Since February 17, 2015, the station has been under the control of the separatists. In mid-May 2015, the media reported that at least 1 train was leaving the station every day.
