Chop (Ukrainian: Чоп, Hungarian: Csap) is a railway station that is located in a small city of Chop, Zakarpattia Oblast in Ukraine. It is part of the Uzhhorod administration (Lviv Railways).
General description[edit]
The station is an important transportation hub and gateway to Ukraine, as most railways in its neighbouring countries have 1435mm standard gauge, whereas most of Ukraine has 1520mm broad gauge tracks. There are two border checkpoints: Strazh for Slovakia and Druzhba for Hungary. The station serves passengers and freight trains. Among the services provided at the station is only embarkment and disembarkment of passengers for commuter and regional lines.
Locomotive depot[edit]
The station also contains a locomotive depot that services locomotives. Currently there are no locomotive units assigned to the depot and all M62, ChME3, and D1 multiple units were transferred either to Mukacheve or Koroleve locomotive depots.
