Kiyevsky suburban railway line
Railway line in Russia
The Kiyevsky suburban railway line (Russian: Киевское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of eleven suburban lines used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas in Moscow Oblast and Kaluga Oblast. The Kiyevsky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the stations in the southwest, in particular, with the towns of Aprelevka, Naro-Fominsk, Balabanovo, Obninsk, Maloyaroslavets, and Kaluga. The stations the line serves are located in Moscow, as well as in the towns of Odintsovo and Naro-Fominsk in Moscow Oblast, and in Borovsky and Maloyaroslavetsky Districts and the city of Kaluga of Kaluga Oblast. The suburban trains have their northeastern terminus at Moscow Kiyevsky railway station. In the southwestern direction, the suburban trains terminate at Solnechnaya, Novoperedelkino, Lesnoy Gorodok, Aprelevka, Bekasovo-1, Nara, Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga-1, and Kaluga-2. The section between Tikhonova Pustyn and Kaluga-1 follows the railway which proceeds further to Aleksin.[1][2] The line is served by Moscow Railway.
The suburban railway line follows the railway which connects Moscow with Kyiv via Kaluga and Bryansk. It is electrified everywhere between Moscow and Kyiv. Between Moscow and Kaluga, there are two tracks.[3] The tracks between Moscow and Aeroport are also used by Aeroexpress, which runs express trains to Vnukovo International Airport.
