history
A part of today's railway line between Ternopil and Sbarasch was built as a local line Tarnopol – Zbaraż , which was operated by the Imperial and Royal State Railways . The line was in the Austro-Hungarian Galicia and was opened on November 25, 1906 with a length of 25 kilometers (own track 22.478 kilometers). The line was licensed on July 14, 1903. The remainder of the railway line was built during the First World War in In 1916, it was built as a missing link between the Russian hinterland and Tarnopol, which was then occupied by Russian troops, using the existing route to Zbaraż.
After the end of the First World War, the railway line between Tarnopol and Łanowce came under Polish rule and was now served by the Polish State Railways (PKP), in 1939 the Tarnopol - Zbaraż - Łanowce route was numbered 422.
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 route Tarnopol - Zbaraz or until 1943 Tarnopol - Krasnosielce was given the number 535b.
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.
