The Bosnian Eastern Railway from Sarajevo to Uvac and Vardište was built through Ustiprača during the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name of the railway station was Ustiprača-Goražda at that time. Construction of the line started in 1903. It was completed in 1906, using the 760 mm (2 ft 5 15⁄16 in) track gauge. With the cost of 75 million gold crowns, which approximately translates to 450 thousand gold crowns per kilometer, it was one of the most expensive railways in the world built by that time. The extensions were built from Uvac to Priboj, and from Vardište to Belgrade in 1928. In 1939, the railway station Ustiprača became a junction railway station to destinations of Sarajevo, Belgrade and Foča, after a branch line from Ustiprača to Foča had been built. The entire line was closed down in 1978, and dismantled afterwards.
