Čierna nad Tisou railway station (Slovak: Železničná stanica Čierna nad Tisou) is an important border railway station in the town of Čierna nad Tisou, Košice Region, Slovakia. It is close to the border with Ukraine and, as the railways have two different gauges, all trains have to change gauge here: the railway has 916 tracks[citation needed] and is the biggest 'harbour on land' in Central Europe. The first station across the border is Chop. The station is on the Pan-European Corridor VA from Venice in Italy to Kyiv in Ukraine via Bratislava, Žilina, Košice and Uzhhorod.
