context_page_description: The Galician Transversal Railway was a railway system, opened in 1884 in the province of Galicia. It was a state-owned enterprise which ran from west to east, along northern side of the Carpathian Mountains.
  The line was constructed in order to connect already existing lines into a continuous east-west route parallel to the main Galician Railway of Archduke Charles Louis route Kraków - Lwów, which would be less exposed to attacks in a war with the Russian Empire. The railway was also supposed to activate underdeveloped mountainous areas of Galicia.
  The Transversal Railway started at Čadca, and ended in Husiatyn, with total length of around 800 kilometers. Main towns located along the route are:
  Żywiec,
  Nowy Sącz,
  Jasło,
  Krosno,
  Sanok,
  Zagórz,
  Chyrów,
  Sambor,
  Drohobycz,
  Stryj,
  Stanisławów.
  Before construction of the Transversal Railway began, several connections had already existed, such as:
  Zagórz – Krościenko – Chyrów,
  The Dniestr Railway, Chyrów – Sambor – Stryj,
  The Prince Albrecht Railway, Stryj – Dolina – Stanislawów.
  Nowy Sącz – Stroze
  The lines built within the Transversal Railway project totalled 577 kilometers and these were:
