history

The line was first opened between Losowa and Rostov in 1869 by the Kharkov-Taganrog Railway . The line from Poltava to Karlivka was opened in 1896 by the Kharkov-Nikolayev Railway , in 1897 the continuation to Krasnohrad was opened and in 1901 the line to Losowa, which made the line continuous.

In 1869 the Kharkov-Taganroger Railway was renamed the Kursk-Kharkov-Azov Railway and nationalized in 1890, in 1893 the company was then merged into the Kursk-Kharkov-Sevastopol Railway and in 1907 became part of the Kharkov-Nikolayev Railway and other companies united by the Russian Southern Railways .

In 1911, the connecting line to Lyman was built, and the branch line to Komsomolske was built in the 1930s.

Rail traffic between Kostjantyniwka and Horlivka has been interrupted since the summer of 2014 due to the war in Ukraine , and since April 1, 2016, there has been a connection between Yassynuwata and Uspenskaja established by the Donetsk People's Republic.
