Summary/Abstract: The author discussed the history and some aspects of the Białystok – Vawkavysk railway in the years 1886–1914. He based his considerations on Byelorussian and Russian literature and the Polish press of the XIX century. The article confirms former historians’ conclusions associating the economic situation of Białystok before World War I with the opening of the Białystok-Vawkavysk railway. The text does not constitute a scientific analysis. It just signals some problems which can be a subject to further research.
