The Lviv – Kivertsi railway is a branch line in Ukraine . It runs from Lemberg (Lviv), the center of western Ukraine, in a north-easterly direction to Kiverti , a city in the Ukrainian Oblast of Volyn . In addition, there is the branch line from Kamjanka-Buska to Tscherwonohrad, both lines with a gauge of 1520 mm are single-track, not electrified and the operation is carried out by the Ukrainian railways , especially the Lvivska Salisnyzja .

The southern part of the railway line between Lemberg and the then Stojanów (88 kilometers, today Stojaniw ) was opened to traffic on October 18, 1910 by the local railway Lemberg – Stojanów . The line was licensed on March 23, 1908.

After the end of the First World War , the line was taken over by the Polish State Railways , which opened an extension to Lutsk in 1925/1928 . The connecting line from Kiverti to Lutsk was built in 1890 under Russian administration.

The branch line between Sapischanka and Tscherwonohrad was built during the First World War in 1915 by the Russian occupation forces and continued to be operated by the Polish State Railways after the end of the war.

With the occupation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union shortly at the beginning of the Second World War in 1939, the line came into the possession of the Soviet railways . These began immediately with the re-gauging of individual lines to Russian broad gauge (1520 mm), but this was reversed after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 and the lines were placed under the Eastern Railway . The routes Lemberg – Kamionka-Strumilowa – Stojanow and Lemberg – Kamionka-Strumilowa – Sokal were given the number 535f. After the end of the war, the line was again taken over by the Soviet Railways, which traced the entire route back to broad gauge and integrated it into their network, which was taken over by the Ukrainian Railways in 1991.
