The Prussian Eastern Railway (German: Preussische Ostbahn) was the railway in the eastern Kingdom of Prussia until 1918. Its main route, approximately 740 kilometers (460 mi) long, connected the capital Berlin with the cities of Danzig (Gdansk) and Konigsberg (Kaliningrad). At Eydtkuhnen (Chernyshevskoye) it reached the German Empire's border with the Russian Empire. The first part of the line opened in 1851, reaching Eydtkuhnen in 1860. By March 1880 the total route length reached 2,210 kilometers (1,373 mi), with a main parallel route in the south via Bromberg (Bydgoszcz) and Thorn (Torun) to Insterburg (Chernyakhovsk). The lines were the first part of the later Prussian State Railways (German: Preussische Staatseisenbahnen). In 1918 the Treaty of Versailles created the Polish Corridor separating the Free City of Danzig and East Prussia from Germany, leaving East Prussia as an exclave.
