Korosten railway station (Ukrainian: Коростенський залізничний вокзал Russian: Железнодорожная станция Коростень) is a railway station in the Ukrainen city of Korosten. An important junction station of the South-Western railway on the Kovel-Kyiv and Kelmenzi-Kalinkawitschy railway lines. The city is served by rail links to the national and regional capitals, as well as cross-border connections to neighboring Belarus. Currently (as of July 2020), the station is served by a single service to/from Kyiv, (one in each direction) on the electrified[1] section of the mainline,[1] with no through services to Zhytomyr.
History
In 1902, through the town of Iskorosten of the Ovruch district of the Volyn province of the Russian Empire, the Kiev - Kovel railway was laid and a railway station was built, in 1905 the first railway station was built at the station (architect A. Kobelev).
On 15 July 1918, the railroad workers of the Korosten railway junction were among the first to start the All-Ukrainian strike of railroad workers.
Infrastructure
The station is home to a checkpoint on the state border of Ukraine with Belarus, as well as a locomotive and wagon depot, railway engine station No. 122.
On 9 April 2018, a team of electromechanics for the repair of the railway catenary, working in the Korosten power supply distance (a separate unit of the regional branch "South-Western Railway"), at the Korosten station during the given window, installed a sectional insulator (ISM-1M) for electrical separation of sections contact network. This device replaced the physically obsolete isolator of the previous generation.[8]
Insulators of the ISM-1M series are used to divide the electrical contact network into separate operating sections with reliable isolation between them. They also provide a smooth transition of the slides of the current receivers of the electric rolling stock moving under the contact wire at a speed of up to 120 km/h.
