All rail routes between this pair of countries are 1520mm gauge.

(Lipcani -) Criva CFM - Mamalyga UZ (- Chernivtsi)

[D] CFM operates one daily passenger train pair (609/610 Chernivtsi - Ocniţa) to Mamalyga.

(Ocniţa -) Valchinec CFM - Mogilyv Podiľskyj UZ (- Zhmerinka)

(Rybniţa -) Kolbasnaja CFM - Timkove UZ (- Slobidka)

[D] Freight only. CFM operates to Slobidka. Note that this line passes through Transdnistria between Rybniţa and Kolbasnaja.

(Tiraspol -) Novosavitskaya CFM - Kuchurhan UZ (- Razdeľnaya)

[E] CFM operates to Kuchurhan. As of 1 October 2010, the 2006 transport blockade has been lifted and trains 51/52, 65/66, 595 and 641/642 (Odessa - Chisinau) run again via Transdnistria.

Many local people use the free Căinari – Căuşeni – Tiraspol – Kučurhan staff train. However, foreigners should not travel by this means to Kučurhan as they will not have the correct documentation to enter Ukraine. They should either leave at Tiraspol and then return to Căinari on the staff train or take a bus from Tiraspol bus station (close to the railway station) to Ukraine. The latter will involve paying a small penalty in dollars or euros at the border, as passengers cannot obtain a Transnistrian entry visa on the staff train.

[D] Two CFM local train pairs run daily between Basarabeasca and Etulia. This crossing is officially permitted only to local citizens, but normally other European nationals are tolerated. Succesful journeys from Reni to Basarabeasca have been reported.

[D] Four CFM local train pairs run daily between Etulia and Reni. This crossing is officially permitted only to local citizens, but normally other European nationals are tolerated. Succesful journeys from Reni to Basarabeasca have been reported.
