EU-Supported Narrow-Gauge Railway Station Museum Under Construction in Prykarpattia

In the Vyhoda community in Prykarpattia, a museum called “Narrow-Gauge Railway Station” is being created with EU support. A parking area and access roads have been built next to it.

This was reported on Facebook by the Vyhoda settlement council, according to Ukrinform.

“Another important stage of the international project is behind us: access roads and a car park have been built near the future museum ‘Narrow-Gauge Railway Station.’ Together with other infrastructure measures, they create the necessary conditions for future visitors to the museum, which is set to become another interesting tourist destination,” the community said in its statement.

According to the community, these measures are being implemented under the large-scale cross-border project “Carpathian Narrow-Gauge Railways: A Journey Along the Trails of the Carpathian Forest Railways,” under the Interreg NEXT Poland–Ukraine 2021–2027 Programme.

“This project became possible thanks to the support of the European Union, which provides 90% of the funding. Together with our Polish partners, the Bieszczady Forest Railway Foundation, we are working to promote the Carpathian narrow-gauge railways so that this unique heritage is known far beyond our communities,” the Vyhoda community added.

The plan is now to complete the museum, fill it with exhibits, and invite people to get to know more closely a unique heritage that tells the story of the Carpathians and has significant potential for tourism development.

The project’s goal is to promote the development of border regions in Poland and Ukraine through joint projects and partnerships between communities and organizations in the two countries.
