Smaliavičy is a junction railway station and a railway station on the line of the Orša direction of the Belarusian Railway.

Smaliavičy is a junction railway station and a railway station on the line of the Orša direction of the Belarusian Railway. Until January 6, 1930, the station was called «Wittgenstein». The station was built in 1871 on the new line of the Smaliensk-Brest Railway (the traffic was opened on November 16, 1871), which later became part of the Moscow-Brest Railway. The station was named «Wittgenstein» (in 1930 it was renamed «Smaliavičy»).

The runs on the line were originally single-track, and the second track between Smaliensk and Brest were laid in 1877—1879. On July 1, 1896, this railway was bought by the state and on May 4, 1912, it was renamed «Aliaksandraŭskaja». In May 1918, it was transferred to the People's Commissariat of Communications of the RSFSR. In August 1922, the Aliaksandraŭskaja and Moscow-Baltic railways were merged into the Moscow-Belarusian-Baltic Railway. In 1936, the Western Railway was separated from it (with management in Smaliensk), which included the entire highway from Moscow to the border station «Nieharelaje».

On July 28, 1951, Smaliavičy station, as part of the Minsk branch of the Western Railway, became part of the newly formed Minsk Railway. On May 15, 1953, the Minsk Railway connected with the Belarusian Railway, previously operated from Homieĺ. In 1974, Smaliavičy station was electrified with alternating current (as part of the Minsk — Barysaŭ section).
