history
The line was built during the First World War as an important connecting line for the supply routes of the Russian Army in the Russian Empire . The line between Kamyanets-Podilskyj and Shepetivka was put into operation as early as 1914/1915 (construction had already started before the war), followed in 1916 by the line between Shepetivka and Kalinkawitschy. After 1918 the line was transferred to the Soviet railways , during the Second World War the line was occupied by Germany and the Reichsverkehrsdirektion Kiev (as part of the Reich Ministry of Transport ) took over the administration and began to change gauges to standard gauge. After the end of the war, the tracks were rebuilt to broad gauge, in the 1960s the track connection between Kamyanets-Podilskyj and Larha was built, the bridge built for this had to be rebuilt by the construction of the Dniester reservoir in the 1980s. In 1991 the line then became the property of the Ukrainian Railways and the Belarusian Railways.
