The line was opened in 1902 by the Russian Southwest Railways , after 1918 the section between Kovel and the Polish-Soviet border as far as Ostki was transferred to the Polish State Railways PKP , and the rest of the line was connected to the Soviet Railways . The Polish line was converted to standard gauge, which meant that through traffic to Kiev was no longer possible and was discontinued, the route Kowel-Sarny-Ostki had the route book number 533 in 1939. After the Second World War , the entire line came to the Soviet Union and was back on broad gauge Re-gauged, the section between Kiev and Worsel has been electrified since 1959, after which electrification was gradually designated to Korosten in 1982.
