history
The line was established very early as an important connection between the Kingdom of Hungary and the Austrian crown land of Galicia , the concession for a consortium under the Polish prince Calixtus Poniński for the Lemberg railway via Stryj and Skole to the Hungarian border on the Beskid, for connection with the from Munkács there in execution Hungarian line (today railway line Lviv – Stryj – Tschop ) , and a branch line from Stryj via Bolechów, Dolina and Kalusz to Stanislau to connect to the Lemberg-Chernivtsi Railway took place on October 22, 1871. The following year was on February 17, 1872 a stock corporation with the name K. k. priv. Archduke Albrecht-Bahn (EAB) founded, which took over the construction and operation of the licensed routes.
After the line from Lemberg to Stryj was opened in 1873, the Stryj – Stanislau line followed on January 1, 1875.
The branch line from Dolyna to Wyhoda was opened on July 8, 1883 as the Dolina – Wygoda local line , and the concession for this line was granted on March 3, 1883.

On May 18, 1883, an operating contract was concluded with the kk Staatsbahnen (kkStB), which came into force on January 1, 1884. From now on, the EAB actually belonged to the kkStB network. In 1891 the Archduke Albrecht-Bahn was finally taken over by the Austrian State Railways.
After the end of the First World War , the railway came under Polish rule and was now served by the Polish State Railways (PKP).
Due to the occupation of eastern Poland by the Soviet Union shortly after the start of the Second World War in 1939, the line came into the possession of the Soviet railways , which immediately began to re-gauge individual lines, but this was reversed and the lines after Germany's attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 subordinated to the Eastern Railway . The Lemberg – Dolina – Stanislau line was given the number 534s.
The end of the Second World War brought Eastern Poland to the Soviet Union and under the leadership of the Soviet railways all standard-gauge railways were switched to broad gauge, since then the line has been in broad gauge.
