[E] It is reported that RŽD works passenger trains to Kybartai, and that LG works freight trains to Nesterov, though these arrangements may vary.

A substantial but totally disused border station exists at Chernyshevskoye immediately on the Russian side of the frontier, all border formalities being handled at Nesterov. Up to 1945, this was Eydtkuhnen, the easternmost station in the former German Empire.
