Border Crossings: Romania - Ukraine
(Satu Mare -) Halmeu CFR - Diakove UZ (- Koroleve)
[D] Freight-only and dual gauge. UZ works to Halmeu on both gauges. 1520 mm gauge traffic runs to and from the gauge-changing and transfer facilities at Halmeu and an oil depot further south near Porumbesti. 1435 mm gauge traffic runs via the Ukrainian corridor line to Chop, with links to and from Čierna nad Tisou in Slovakia and Záhony in Hungary.
(Sighetu Marmaţiei -) Câmpulung la Tisa CFR - Teresva UZ
[D] Believed to remain out of use even though Ukrainian Railways were refurbishing the track on their side in summer 2022, as they hoped this route would re-open to allow an alternative corridor freight route to/from Chop via the reinstated Valea Vişeului CFR - Dilove UZ crossing. A test run was performed by Ukrainian Railways between Teresva and Sighetu Marmaţiei on 22 February 2023, but as via Dilove closed again later in 2023, it is assumed this cross border line remains closed.
Teresva to Câmpulung la Tisa is 1520mm gauge only, with dual gauge 1435 mm/1520 mm from there via Sighetu Marmaţiei to Valea Vişeului. This border crossing has been out of use since a new road bridge was opened across the Tisa between Solotvino and Sighetu Marmaţiei, with the Ukrainian Railways operated passenger service to Sighetu Marmaţiei withdrawn during 2007, allegedly due to smuggling. CFR 1435mm gauge freight traffic to Câmpulung la Tisa has ceased west of Sighetu Marmaţiei.
(Sighetu Marmaţiei -) Valea Vişeului CFR - Dilove UZ (- Rakhiv)
[D] The route across the border to Valea Vişeului is 1520mm gauge and had been out of use since April 2006 owing to serious flood damage. UZ reopened Rakhiv to Dilove on 26 August 2022, with work to reopen as an alternative war exit route completed with the first test passenger train cross border to Valea Vişeului on 9 November 2022 for a planned 2 pairs a day Ukrainian Railways DMU service from the December 2022 timetable change.
The cross border passenger service commenced on 17 January 2023 with 2 daily train pairs but was cancelled on 28 May 2023. Ukrainian internal services still reach Dilove.
(Dorneşti -) Vicşani CFR - Vadul Syret UZ (- Chernivtsi)
[D] The line is dual gauge 1435/1520mm between Dorneşti and Vadul Syret, where there are bogie changing facilities.
The Sofia - Bucuresti - Kyïv/Moskva service via this route was withdrawn in December 2014. Trains between Suceava and Vadul Syret were suspended in 2020 because of COVID-19 and had not been reinstated as at January 2023.
Constanţa CFR - Illichivs'k UZ {train ferry}
Freight only. 1520 mm gauge, with bogie-changing facilities to 1435 mm gauge thought to exist at Constanţa.
