The Belorussky suburban railway line (Russian: Белорусское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of eleven railway lines used for suburban railway connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas, mostly in Moscow Oblast. The Belorussky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the stations in the west, in particular, with the towns of Odintsovo, Golitsyno, Zvenigorod, Kubinka, and Mozhaysk. The stations the line serves are located in Moscow, as well as in Odintsovo, Ruza, and Mozhaysk in Moscow Oblast. Some of the suburban trains have their eastern terminus at Moscow Belorussky railway station in Moscow, others commute from the Savyolovsky suburban railway line. In the western direction, the suburban trains terminate at Usovo, Odintsovo, Golitsyno, Zvenigorod, Kubinka I, Dorokhovo, Mozhaysk, and Borodino.^[1] The line is operated by Moscow Railway.
