A rare example of a schedule for a special train from Kamenets-Podolskiy to Proskurov on the 30th March 1916 accompanied by a Podolskaya railway map showing the train's route outlined in contemporary hand. On board this train was Nicholas II, returning to Proskurov following his visit to the South-Western front hospital, where Mikhail Bulgakov was practicing in the summer of that year. One finds descriptions of this journey, including the times of arrival and departure, in the personal diary of Nicholas II. The Podolskaya line is part of the South-Western Railway, which began being constructed in 1860-s. By the beginning of World War I the total length of the SWR system was 3,096 km. The Podolskaya part of the South Western railway was completed in 1914 - 18.
