The Kaliningrad – Mamonowo (Königsberg – Heiligenbeil) railway runs in the southwest of the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast within reach of the Fresh Lagoon . The line to Poland continues across the border with the Braniewo (German: Braunsberg) border station .
The section of the former Prussian Eastern Railway between Braunsberg and Königsberg was opened to traffic in August 1853. First, the old Königsberg Ostbahnhof was approached, which was designed as a terminal station. Since 1929 the trains have been going to the new Königsberg main station , which is still the starting point for local trains in the direction of Mamonowo as the Kaliningrad South Station .
The line runs on two tracks from the Polish border to the Kaliningrader Südschleife, with one track in Russian broad gauge and one track in standard gauge. The standard gauge track then reaches Kaliningrad via the south loop, which was built by 1970 at the latest.
