History
The station was opened in 1935 as a terminus on the Dzhankoy—Armiansk line, but later the line was upgraded to Kherson.
After Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014 all passenger services between Armiansk and Vadym railway station in Kherson Oblast were suspended.[5] Southbound passenger services from Kherson now terminate at Vadym, 7–8 km north from Armiansk checkpoint.[6]
