history
Today's railway line was opened as the Wygnanka – Iwanie Puste local line by the joint stock company of the East Galician Local Railways in the following sections:
- Route Wygnanka -Teresin- Skała (Length 42.660 km, opened on 15 November 1898)
- Teresin – Iwanie Puste route (route length 29.842 kilometers)
- Teresin– Borszczów section (opening on November 15, 1898)
- Section Borszczow– Iwanie Puste (opening on December 1, 1898)
The lines were licensed on January 23, 1894.
After the end of the First World War , the railway lines came under Polish rule and were now served by the Polish State Railways (PKP).
Due to the occupation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union shortly after the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, the lines came into the possession of the Soviet railways , which immediately began to re-gauge individual lines, but this was reversed and the lines after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 subordinated to the Eastern Railway . The route Wygnanka - Skala Podolka and Iwanie Puste got the number 534q ,.
The end of the Second World War brought Eastern Poland to the Soviet Union with it and under the leadership of the Soviet Railways all standard-gauge railways were switched to broad gauge, since then the line has been in broad gauge.
The branch line to Skala-Podilska is no longer served by passenger traffic, the line is only kept open for freight traffic purposes.
