History
The history of the station began in 1878 with the opening ceremony of the Donetsk coal railway, the which covered 389 miles, crossing open areas such as Mykytivka–Debaltseve–Dovzhanska, Debaltseve, Popasna–Kramatorsk and Donetsk–Luhansk, which came to Luhansk from the Southwest.[2]
The Donetsk Railway was managed from Luhansk until 1934, when the office moved to Donetsk.[3]
