The Kazansky suburban railway line (Russian: Казанское 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 Kazansky suburban railway line connects Moscow with the stations in the east, in particular, with the towns of Lyubertsy, Kurovskoye, and Shatura. The stations the line serves are located in Moscow, as well as in Lyubertsy, Ramenskoye, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, and Shatura in Moscow Oblast. The suburban trains have their western terminus at Moscow Kazansky railway station in Moscow. In the eastern direction, the suburban trains terminate at Kurovskaya, Shatura, and Cherusti. There are also direct suburban trains to Yegoryevsk which from Kurovskaya follow Greater Ring of the Moscow Railway. The line is operated by Moscow Railway. The tracks between Moscow Kazansky railway station and Lyubertsy I are also used by Ryazansky suburban railway line.
The suburban railway line follows the railway which connects Moscow with Arzamas and Kazan. It is electrified and has two tracks everywhere between Moscow and Kazan, though in Vekovka the electric power changes. The distance between Moscow Kazansky railway station and Cherusti is 156 kilometres (97 mi).
