After 15.04.2022 Borzhava Narrow Gauge Railway in Transcarpathia resume operation on 22 km section Vynohradiv - Khmilnyk by locomotive TU2-034 and two repaired railway cars PV-40.

Thus after a two-year downtime the famous "Antsya Kushnytska" - the last narrow-gauge railway in Transcarpathia will resume its work.

Has already begun the preparation of rolling stock, station buildings and tracks.

Last week a commission tour was held at Berehove Depot together with representatives of Lviv Railways and 5th Korolevo Motor Railway Car Depot.

The condition of the narrow-gauge railway is currently quite deplorable unfortunately so there is a lot of work and the project to revive the small part will be delayed for several months or even years.

But the first and most important step is to resume the running of the suburban train on Vynohradiv - Khmilnyk route which was stopped in March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It is tentatively planned that the train will run daily and operate three round trips.

Residents of remote villages of Transcarpathia region will again be able to quickly and conveniently go to work and local market, get to the district center faster.

In the future there are plans to resume tourist railway tours on Borzhava Narrow Gauge Railway as well as wine tours for travelers and railway enthusiasts.

The initiative of Borzhava Narrow Gauge Railway operation resume is proposed by Oleg Zabludovsky, Head of Narrow Gauge Railways and Retro-Techniques of Ukrainian Railways.

Welcome to Transcarpathia!)
