Chernivtsi railway station (Ukrainian: Залізнична станція Чернівці romanized: Zaliznychna stantsiia Chernivtsi), is the main railway station of Chernivtsi, Western Ukraine. Situated on Chernivtsi-Pivnichna — Bahrynivka Line, 47.6 kilometers (29.57 mi) from Romanian border. The station has three platforms – two island platforms and one side platform.[1]
The station opened along with the Lviv — Chernivtsi Line on 1 September 1866, which was built as an extension of Vienna — Lviv Line opened in December 1863. The new building was constructed from 1906 to 1909. In 1982, the building of the station was included on the list of architectural monuments of local significance.[2]
History
In 1841, the government of the Austrian Empire approved the Railways Program, which, among other things, provided the development of railways in Galicia. The line from Vienna to Lviv was planned to be built by December 31, 1863. After that, it was extended to Chernivtsi, at the time, the capital of Bukovina District.[3]
After that, the construction of the Lviv — Chernivtsi railway branch with a length of 267 km, which passed through Khodoriv and Stanislaviv, began at an active pace, with the workers working in two shifts. The railroad was laid through swamps, mountains and forests. The works were managed by the English engineering contractor Thomas Bressey, who had already worked on the railways of Australia and Canada. The line was completed in two years.[4]
The first passenger train from Lviv arrived on 1 September 1866. After that the construction of lines began in the following directions: to Russia, through Novoselytsia to Vinnytsia and Chișinău, and to Romania, through Suceava to Iași. Notably, Chernivtsi was one of the first Ukrainian cities to be connected with a railway. Kharkiv saw its first train in 1869, Kyiv and Ternopil in 1870, and in 1873 the railway connection with Volhynia was established.[5]
For the opening of railway traffic to Chernivtsi, a relatively small station was built. Its size was sufficient in the early years of the station's operation. In 1867, only 20,062 arriving and 21,256 departing passengers were recorded, but the number of passengers grew to more than half a million per year by the end of 19th century.[6] The old building of the station was constructed under the same project as the old building of the station in Stanislaviv and currently operating Suceava Nord station.[7]
At the time of completion, the station was located on the outskirts of Chernivtsi, one and a half kilometers from the city center. Additionally, the city center is located on a hill, unlike the station, located near the Prut River, with the streets leading from the station to the center of Chernivtsi having a noticeable incline. To facilitate the connection between the station and the city, in 1897 a tram line connecting the station with the Central Square was built.[4] The line was dismantled in 1966–1967.
