Libava–Romny Railway

Libava–Romny Railway (Russian: Либаво-Роменская железная дорога) was a railway company that built a railway line in the Russian Empire in 1871–74 to connect Romny in Ukraine with the port in Liepāja, then named Libava in the Russian Empire, in present-day Latvia. To do so it passed through Minsk. The objective of the railway was to deliver Ukrainian exports, particularly grain, to the Baltic Sea where it could be further shipped.
