The Gorkovsky suburban railway line or Gorkovskoye line[1] (Russian: Горьковское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of eleven suburban railway lines used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas, mostly in Moscow Oblast. The Gorkovsky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the station in the east, in particular, with the towns of Reutov, Balashikha, Elektrougli, Elektrostal, Noginsk, Pavlovsky Posad, Elektrogorsk, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Pokrov, Petushki, Kosteryovo, Lakinsk, and Vladimir. The stations the line serves are located in Moscow, as well as in the towns of Reutov, Balashikha, Elektrogorsk, Elektrostal, Noginsk, Pavlovsky Posad, and Orekhovo-Zuyevo in Moscow Oblast, as well as in Petushinsky District, Sobinsky District, and the city of Vladimir of Vladimir Oblast. The suburban trains have their western terminus at Moscow Kursky railway station in Moscow. In the eastern direction, the suburban trains terminate at Balashikha, Zheleznodorozhnaya, Kupavna, Fryazevo, Zakharovo, Elektrogorsk, Petushki, and Vladimir.[2] The line is served by Moscow Railway between Moscow and Petushki and by Gorky Railway between Petushki and Vladimir. The suburban railway line follows the railway which connects Moscow with Nizhny Novgorod (formerly Gorky, hence the name) via Vladimir. It is fully electrified. Between Moscow and Vladimir, there are two tracks.[3] The distance between Moscow Kurskaya railway station and Vladimir is 190 kilometres (120 mi).
The rails are used, in addition to suburban trains, also by long-distance trains to Moscow from the Urals and Siberia. Some of these trains terminate at Moscow Kursky railway station, and others terminate at Moscow Yaroslavsky railway station, arriving there via Fryazevo and Mytishchi.
