History
The railway between Moscow and Saint Petersburg was opened on November 1, 1851 and is the second oldest railway in Russia. In 1950, it was electrified between Moscow and Kryukovo, and in 1953, between Kryukovo and Klin. In 1957, the section between Klin and Kalinin (currently Tver) was electrified. In 1966, a branch to Konakovo was electrified as well.
In 1914, a railway connecting Klin and
Vysokovsk was open. There was passenger traffic between Klin and Vysokovsk. The section was never electrified, and the passenger traffic was discontinued in the 1970s. In 2018, the line was demolished, since it was crossed by the
M11 highway, and no bridge or tunnel was included to the construction project.
Stations
Following the standard notations in Russia, a railway stop below is called a station if it is a terminus or if it has a cargo terminal, and it is called a platform (railway stop) otherwise.
