The Przemyśl – Chyriw railway is a branch line in Poland and Ukraine . It runs from Przemyśl , a city in Poland, to Chyriw in western Ukraine.
history
The line is single-track and not electrified. On the Ukrainian side, operations are carried out by the Ukrainian Railways , in particular the Lviv Railway . On the Polish side, the line is no longer in operation.
The rail link was opened by the First Hungarian-Galician Railway on May 13, 1872 and represented one of the Carpathian crossings from Galicia to Hungary.
During the Second World War , the area was initially occupied by the Soviet Union and the railway line was switched to broad gauge. This was reversed after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in the summer of 1941. The route was led under the course book number 534a Przemysl - Chyrow.
After the end of the Second World War, the southern part of the line fell to the Soviet Union, which re-tracked the lines to broad gauge. The standard gauge remained, however, so that corridor traffic was carried out until 1995. Since then, cross-border traffic has been interrupted. On the Ukrainian side, trains run to Nyshankowytschi.
