History
The station was commissioned in 1925 and the village and the station of Yaniv gave rise to the city of Pripyat.[7]
During 1986 there was a reconstruction of the railway section from Chernihiv to Yaniv to provide service to the Chornobyl staff and contractors, and the section from Yaniv to Slavutych was electrified. Prior to 2021, the section was not being used and was partly dismantled at the station and on the stretch from Yaniv–Semykhody.[6]
In the central part of the station, there are three receiving-departure paths and devices for cargo operations. In the western part there is a locomotive column that supplied water to the locomotives.
