Kiyevsky suburban direction of Moscow Railway
The Kiyevsky Suburban Direction of Moscow Railway (Russian: Киевское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of ten directions used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas in Moscow Oblast and Kaluga Oblast. The Kiyevsky Suburban Direction connects Moscow with the station in the southwest, in particular, with the towns of Aprelevka, Naro-Fominsk, Balabanovo, Obninsk, Maloyaroslavets, and Kaluga. The stations the direction serves are located in Moscow, as well as in Odintsovsky and Naro-Fominsky Districts of Moscow Oblast, and Borovsky and Maloyaroslavetsky Districts and the city of Kaluga of Kaluga Oblast. The suburban trains have their northeastern terminus at Kiyevsky railway station in Moscow. In the southwestern direction, the suburban trains terminate at the stations of Solnechnaya, Novoperedelkino, Lesnoy Gorodok, Aprelevka, Bekasovo-1, Nara, Maloyaroslavets, Kaluga-1, and Kaluga-2. The stretch between Tikhonova Pustyn and Kaluga-1 follows the railway which proceeds further to Aleksin.[1][2] The direction is served by the Moscow Railway.
The suburban direction follows the railway which connects Moscow with Kiev via Kaluga and Bryansk. It is electrified everywhere between Moscow and Kiev. Between Moscow and Kaluga, there are two tracks.[3]
History
The whole stretch between Moscow and Bryansk was constructed between 1895 and 1899 and became a part of Moscow-Kiev-Voronezh Railway. The passenger traffic was opened in 1899 and initially consisted of two trains per day between Moscow and Bryansk. The terminal station building (until 1934 known as Bryansky Railway Station) was only opened in 1918. Before that, the station was served by a temporary building.[4] The stretch between Moscow and Kaluga was gradually electrified in the 1950s.
