Likhaya railway station (Russian: станция Лихая) is a railway station located in Likhovskoy district of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov oblast, Russia. It is 164 km down-line from Rostov-Glavny and is situated between Zamchalovo and Kamenskaya on the Moscow — Rostov-on-Don line.[1] The Likhaya — Volgograd line diverges from the Moscow — Rostov-on-Don to the east of Likhaya and runs to Volgograd via Belaya Kalitva.
The main line of the Voronezh — Rostov-on-Don railway and Likhaya station were opened in 1871. The construction began in 1869. The Likhaya — Tsaritsin (now Volgograd) Railway was opened at the beginning of the 20th century. The station suffered considerable destruction during the Russian Civil War and Great Patriotic War. Current station building was built in early 1950s. The Likhaya — Izvaryne branch railway line was disassembled in 1990s. In connection with the increased demand the third track was erected between Likhaya and Zamchalovo.[2]
