Darnitsa station this is the eastern railway gate of Kiev, the largest freight station in the capital of Ukraine, one of the largest stations on the South-Western road.
Darnitsa is a junction station, here the main route from Konotop (Moscow) and Grebenka (Poltava) connects, and in the western mouth the Northern railway ring of Kiev connects with the main route Kiev-Pass - Darnitsa. From the station leads a huge variety of different branches to all kinds of industrial zones; there is a branch to the Kiev-Liski dead-end freight station.
The Darnitsa station begins here, in the Darnitsa forest, at the 837 km post (from Moscow).
The main main passage.
View to the north-east, towards Nizhyn, Konotop and Moscow.
View towards Kiev. An even cargo passage is visible, leading from the departure cargo fleet and joining with the main passenger passage.
The bridge along which traffic is carried out from the Grebenka side in an odd direction.
It is most convenient to get from the city to the area of the Darnitsa-depot and DVRZ train stops from the Dovbush street stop, which is on Alma-Atinskaya street. Then go under this bridge, the path on which leads to the car repair plant. Further along the pedestrian bridge over the odd-numbered park for receiving freight trains.
Odd fleet of receiving freight trains from the side of Nizhyn and Grebenka. Just another cargo arrived, most likely from the direction of Nizhyn.
The neck of the odd reception park. This is almost in the Darnitsa forest.
The shunting "chmukha" pushes the train onto the marshalling hill. There are two sorting humps in Darnitsa. Paired and unpaired freight fleet.
This is a slide of an unpaired (odd) park. The steam park slide is located not far from the station.
The carriages disperse in bundles or one at a time, each on its own path. At the wheelhouse, only switch the arrows.
The process of pushing the composition up the hill.
View from the bridge towards the Darnytsky railway station. These are the ways for freight locomotives to maneuver between freight fleets and a locomotive depot.

A total of 105 locomotives.
The main profile locomotive is the shunting ChME3.
ChME2, almost a rare car, produced in 1963.
A whole bunch of CHME3. Probably also non-working.
This is how this place looked in the mid-70s.
The decommissioned diesel locomotives TE3 and electric locomotives VL60K are visible for a long time.
PTOL -item Maintenance locomotives (diesel locomotives). Two steam locomotives, under which the Kiev railway excursion passes, are immediately defended.
PTOL (electric locomotives)
PTOL on the other side.
There are quite frequent guests here - VL80 from Russia (Moscow road, Bryansk-II depot). Here is one such VL80S-1312, it differs from ours by the presence of a star.
Kazatinskie "vylniki" (VL80K and VL80T)
Even depot of freight trains (towards Nizhyn and Grebenka)
Freight trains are brought here from the formation park, put under the mainline electric locomotive and await the queue for departure.
It is as empty as yesterday. Visible road bridge from the side of Orozitelnaya street. Anyone from Kiev who served in the army knows this place well.
And it also happens like this, when almost all the paths are clogged.
Freight train is delivered from the formation park.
Even formation park.
Two lonely cisterns against the backdrop of elite skyscrapers like the Kharkiv highway.
On the left is an odd formation fleet and a cargo VL80T moving from the depot towards the odd departure fleet. Probably served under a freight train, which will go to Korosten or Kazatin.
And here is a steam locomotive with excursion cars. I caught him very well yesterday.
On the left you can see the main route Kiev - Nizhyn.
The fast one follows the main entrance towards Nizhyn. A new depot built last year for Intercity - Hyundai trains is visible.
It is impossible to get there, everywhere there is a concrete fence with a thorn.
As I understand it, they also launched it on Odessa.
Photo over the fence.
The main passage towards Kiev-Pass.
And towards Nizhyn.
On the left is an even formation park, on the right is the depot of the "Ukrainian high-speed passenger company".
An even passenger route in the direction of Grebenka. The "Pharmaceutical" train stop is on it.
The doors of the depot opened and Hyundai slowly began to crawl out of it.
EC station of Darnitsa station.
Sorting hill of even formation park.
The abandoned concrete monster of the new station is visible, which was abandoned in 2005.
Why does Darnitsa need such a huge station? What to do now with this long-term construction, lease it out as an office building?
New suburban train station, built about 10 years ago.
And this is old. Photo taken before demolition.
The purpose of its demolition is not entirely clear, because it was necessary to build almost the same thing.
Historical photo of Darnitsa station, taken from a pedestrian bridge that once existed. Around the end of the 60s.
