Английская Википедия:Galician Transversal Railway
The Galician Transversal Railway (German: Galizische Transversalbahn, Polish: Galicyjska Kolej Transwersalna) was a railway system, opened in 1884 in the province of Galicia (Austria-Hungary). It was operated by a state-owned enterprise. The line ran from west to east, along the northern side of the Carpathian Mountains from Zwardoń to Zagórz,[1] passing through the oil fields in the Carpathians.[2]
The line was constructed to connect already existing lines into a continuous east-west route parallel to the main Galician Railway of Archduke Charles Louis route Kraków - Lwów, which would be less exposed to attacks in a war with the Russian Empire. The railway was also supposed to activate underdeveloped mountainous areas of Galicia.
The Transversal Railway started at Čadca (present-day Slovakia), and ended in Husiatyn (present-day Ukraine), with a total length of around 800 kilometers. The main towns located along the route are:
Before construction of the Transversal Railway began, several connections had already existed, such as:
- Zagórz – Krościenko – Chyrów (part of the Łupków – Przemyśl connection of the First Hungarian-Galician Railway, 1872),
- The Dniestr Railway, Chyrów – Sambor – Stryj (1872),
- The Archduke Albrecht Railway, Stryj – Dolina – Stanislawów (1873).
- Nowy Sącz – Stróże (part of the Tarnów – Plaveč connection, 1876)
The lines built within the Transversal Railway project totaled 577 kilometers and these were:
- Čadca – Zwardoń – Żywiec – Sucha Beskidzka – Chabówka – Limanowa – Nowy Sącz (together with side lines Suchá – Skawina – Kraków-Plaszów, and Skawina – Oświęcim),
- Stróze – Jasło – Sanok – Zagórz (together with a branch line to Gorlice),
- Chryplin (near Stanisławów) – Buczacz – Czortków – Husiatyn.
