History edit

The station dates back to its opening in 1895.[1] The reason for the discovery was the construction of a sugar factory in 1893, which needed a railway to supply raw materials. The station probably got its name from the village of Toropylivka, which was located seven kilometres (4 mi) away. (The village no longer exists.)

The first station house was built in 1906, but it has not survived to this day. The modern building was built in 1960, the current appearance of the station acquired after reconstruction in 2008.

Passenger service edit

At Toropylivka stop only suburban trains in the directions of Vorozhba, Sumy, and Virynskyi Zavod.
