Why this facility matters

Košice Broad Gauge serves 2 gauges — Standard (1435 mm) and Broad (1520 mm). A train arriving on one gauge cannot continue on the other without either transferring its load or changing bogies, so this is a mandatory stop for any corridor crossing here and the usual place a cross-border transit gains or loses a day.
