The line was built from Saint Petersburg to Warsaw and an international branch to Prussia was opened in the year before it reached Warsaw. Therefore "Saint Petersburg – Warsaw Railway" is more apprpriate for describing railway history. Furthermore the original name began with the imperial capital, not with the provincial capital (Санкт-Петербурго-Варшавская железная дорога). --Ulamm (talk) 18:20, 19 November 2010 (UTC)+Ulamm (talk) 20:05, 19 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Before the dissolution of Soviet Umion this line was a main European Railway line with daily intertnational trains. Once the political climate between Belarus and its neighbours improves, it can be the quickest landborne traffic line between the Baltic countries or Saint Petersburg and central Europe again.--Ulamm (talk) 20:00, 21 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
