Kybartai train station

Kybartai railway station (Lithuanian: Kybartų geležinkelio stotis), until 1964 known as Virbalis railway station (Lithuanian: Virbalio geležinkelio stotis, Bahnhof Wirballen), is a railway station in the town of Kybartai in southwestern Lithuania. Located on the Kaunas–Kybartai railway line, the station is a border station on the border between Russia and Lithuania, located on the Lithuanian side, with the neighbouring Chernyshevskoye railway station located 2 km (1.2 mi) to the west on the Russian side. Originally located in Congress Poland of the Russian Empire, the station opened in 1861 as a part of the railway connection between Saint Petersburg, Königsberg and Berlin. The station became an important border station between the Russian and German Empires, where passengers travelling between the Russian capital and Western Europe had to change trains and freight had to be transloaded due to the different track gauges.
