Gorkovsky suburban railway line

The construction of the railway between Moscow and Vladimir started in 1858, the stretch was open in 1861 and extended to Nizhny Novgorod in 1862. The terminal station was Nizhegorodsky Railway Station in Moscow, at Rogozhsky Val Street. In 1893, the government bought the railway, and on 1 January 1894 the Moscow-Kursk, Nizhny Novgorod and Murom Railway was created. In 1896, Kursky railway station was opened, and on 14 June 1896 the trains from Nizhny Novgorod started to run to that station. Nizhegorodsky Railway Station was used for cargo traffic, and eventually disused and demolished. The suburban railway line was electrified in stretches. From 1931 to 1933, the stretch between Moscow and Obiralovka (currently Zheleznodorozhnaya) was electrified; in 1933, Reutovo to Balashikha, in 1957 Zheleznodorozhnaya to Fryazevo and Fryazevo to Noginsk, and in 1958 Fryazevo to Petushki. The part between Petushki and Vladimir was electrified in 1959. The poem in prose Moscow-Petushki by Venedikt Yerofeyev, written between 1969 and 1970, is set on a suburban train, which travels from Moscow to Petushki. Every chapter is named for a stretch between adjacent stops. ==Stations==
