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. 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. The tracks between Moscow and Aeroport are also used by Aeroexpress, which runs express trains to Vnukovo International Airport.

History

The whole section between Moscow and Bryansk was constructed between 1895 and 1899 and became part of Moscow-Kyiv-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 section was served by a temporary building. The section between Moscow and Kaluga was gradually electrified in the 1950s.
