The Khodoriv – Pissochna railway line is a branch line in Ukraine . It runs from Chodoriw , a railway junction in western Ukraine to the Pissochna station south of Lviv.
Operation is carried out by the Ukrainian Railways , in particular the Lwiwska Salisnyzja , but this is currently suspended on most of the route (to Rosdil), most of the tracks have already been dismantled. Freight traffic is only carried out as far as Dnistrjanska; an electrification of this section of the route that had already begun in the Soviet times could no longer be completed after 1991.
The entire line is single-track and was built in 1953 in Russian broad gauge (1520 cm) to facilitate sulfur mining around Rosdil and Novyj Rosdil . In 2003 passenger traffic on the route was discontinued, in 2005 also goods traffic. In 2010 the rails on the section from Khodoriv were removed.
