Luhansk (Ukrainian: Луганськ) is a junction railway station in Luhansk, Ukraine.
The history of the station began in 1878 with the opening ceremony of the Donetsk coal railway, which covered 389 miles, crossing open areas such as (in Horlivka) –Debaltseve–, Debaltseve, Popasna–Kramatorsk and Donetsk–Luhansk, which came to Luhansk from the Southwest.[2]
