Leningradsky suburban direction of Oktyabrskaya Railway

The Leningradsky Suburban Direction of Oktyabrskaya Railway (Russian: Ленинградское направление Октябрьской железной дороги) is one of ten directions used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas in Moscow Oblast and Tver Oblast. The Leningradsky Suburban Direction connects Moscow with the station in the northwest, in particular, with the towns of Khimki, Zelenograd, Solnechnogorsk, Klin, Konakovo, and Tver. The stations the direction serves are located in Moscow, as well as in the town of Khimki, Solnechnogorsky and Klinsky Districts of Moscow Oblast, and Konakovsky and Kalininsky District and the city of Tver of Tver Oblast. The suburban trains have their southeastern terminus at Leningradsky railway station in Moscow. In the northwestern direction, the suburban trains terminate at the stations of Kryukovo, Podsolnechnaya, Klin, Konakovo GRES, and Tver.[1][2] The direction is served by the Oktyabrskaya Railway. This is in contrast to all other suburban directions from Moscow, which are served by the Moscow Railway.

The suburban direction follows the Moscow – Saint Petersburg Railway which connects Moscow with Saint Petersburg via Tver and Bologoye. It is electrified everywhere between Moscow and Saint Petersburg.[3]

History

The railway between Moscow and Saint Petersburg was opened on November 1, 1851 and is the second oldest railway in Russia. In 1950, it was electrified between Moscow and Kryukovo,[4] and in 1953, between Kryukovo and Klin.[5] In 1957, the stretch between Klin and Kalinin (currently Tver) was electrified.[6] In 1966, a branch to Konakovo was electrified as well.[7]

In 1914, a railway connecting Klin and Vysokovsk was open. There was passenger traffic between Klin and Vysokovsk.[8] The stretch was never electrified, and the passenger traffic was shut down in the 1970s.
