Galician Transversal Railway Museum

Museum / gallery

The Galician Transversal Railway Museum was opened in 2022 in the building of the sports and educational center "Kamenyar" in the village of Nyzhniv on the initiative of a local enthusiast for reviving the memory of the railway, Dmytro Romanyshyn.

The construction of the 768-kilometer-long Galician Transversal Railway began in 1871. On November 15, 1884, the first train set off on the newly constructed Stanislaviv – Husyatyn branch, in particular the bridge over the Dniester in Nyzhniv. During the Second World War, the railway was destroyed by the Nazis and has not been rebuilt since then, but its remains have been preserved in some places.

The exhibition of the Galician Transversal Railway Museum presents several dozens of authentic exhibits, including a fragment of an Austrian rail, a railway lantern, other instruments and household items of railway workers.

Also on display are weapons from the First World War, old newspapers, currency notes, railway-themed paintings and photographs.

A memorial sign has been installed at the place where the railway runs in Nyzhniv.
