The 390-km-long Line 353 of Polish State Railways (PKP) connects Poznań to Skandawa and the Russian border (8 km (5 mi) north-east of Skandawa and 3 km (2 mi) south-west of Zheleznodorozhny) via Olsztyn and Korsze. Since 2000 the final stretch from Korsze to the border has been a freight-only branch, and the railway station at Korsze (15 km (9 mi) to the south-west) is today Skandawa's nearest passenger facility.[citation needed]
