The Rizhsky suburban railway line (Russian: Рижское направление Московской железной дороги) is one of eleven suburban railway lines used for connections between Moscow, Russia, and surrounding areas, mostly in Moscow Oblast.
The Rizhsky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the station in the northwest, in particular, with the towns of Krasnogorsk, Dedovsk, Istra, and Volokolamsk.
In the northwestern direction, the suburban trains terminate at Nakhabino, Dedovsk, Novoiyerusalimskaya, Rumyantsevo, Volokolamsk, and Shakhovskaya.
[2] The distance between Rizhsky railway station and Shakhovskaya is 155 kilometres (96 mi).
One of these trains continued to Lyublino, and sixteen others terminated at Rizhsky railway station.
In the 1990s, the military installations in Pavlovskaya Sloboda were disestablished, and the number of passengers dropped.
Subsequently, Tushino, Leningradskaya, and Rzhevskaya were renamed to Tushinskaya, Streshnevo, and Rizhskaya to have common names with metro stations located close to them.
