Kybartai Railway Station (formerly: Вержболово/Vershbolovo, German: Wirballen, [[Lithuanian language|Lithuanian: Virbalis) is a border station between Russia and Lithuania on the Lithuanian side and the railway station of the city of Kybartai. It was made during the imperial time
The station has a waiting room and toliets
The station opened in 1851 with the Berlin - St. Petersburg connection and was the first Russian border station to the Kingdom of Prussia . It was named after the town of Vershbolovo . Since the Central European standard gauge and the Russian broad gauge met here on a branch line of the Warsaw-St. Petersburg Railway and at the neighboring German border station of Eydtkuhnen on the Prussian Eastern Railway , the station was given a particularly magnificently decorated entrance building , as all passengers had to change trains here, including the Tsar and his family, when traveling to Western Europe by train.
After the First World War, Vershbolovo fell to Lithuania in 1919 and was renamed Virbalis. The station was later named after the town of Kybartai, on whose territory it is located. At the end of the Second World War , the magnificent station building was blown up by a Red Army unit that was originally intended to destroy the Eydtkuhnen station building but, due to lack of local knowledge, confused the two stations. After the war, a simpler building was built. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union , the station has once again served as a border station, now between the Russian Kaliningrad Oblast and Lithuania, with Russia this time on the western side of the border.
