Vorozhba railway station

It is a major passenger and freight station at the junction of the Khutir-Mykhailivskyi-Konotop, Vorozhba-Konotop, Vorozhba-Volfyne, and Bilopillia-Vorozhba lines of Southwestern Railways.

In 1894, the Vorozhba-Seredyna-Buda (now Zernove station) narrow-gauge railway was put into operation, and in 1915 it was rebuilt on a wide track.

The Moscow-Kyiv-Voronezh Railway Joint-Stock Company built locomotive and wagon workshops at Vorozhba Junction in the early 1890s.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the following stations were built on the Vorozhba-Kyiv line: Putyvl, Hruzke, Konotop, Bakhmach, Plysky, Kruty, Nizhyn, Nosivka, Kobyzhchi, Bobrovytsia, and Bobryk.

After the liquidation of the Ukrainian People's Republic, restoration work began at the Vorozhba railway junction.

A temporary mobile traction substation was put into operation at the station, and a stationary one is planned to be built in the future.

In 1898, at the expense of the Kharkiv-Mykolaiv and Kursk-Kyiv railways, a new building of the Vorozhba station was built, designed by Kyiv architect Mykola Jurgens.

It is obvious that the author of the project, architect Jurgens, tried to create a building with a perspective for the future, which was convenient and comfortable not only for the then but also for the next generation.

Now this magnificent architectural work is a decoration of the city and occupies a prominent place in the stations of Ukraine.

Thanks to electric traction, the travel time of trains from Vorozhba to Kyiv was reduced by about half an hour.
