- Savyolovo
Savyolovo ( _ru. Савёлово) is a
microdistrict of the town ofKimry inTver Oblast ,Russia . It lies on the right bank of theVolga River and is connected to the left-bank part of Kimry by a 554 m long bridge over the Volga (the longest bridge in Tver Oblast).The expansion of the ancient village of Savyolovo at the beginning of the 20th century was due to the opening there in 1900 of a railway station on a new direct line to
Moscow . The station was chiefly intended to serve the town of Kimry, with which Savyolovo eventually merged, on the opposite bank of the river.Railway station
The station is the terminus of an "
elektrichka " (short-distance passenger electric train) service from the Savyolovsky Station in Moscow viaDmitrov andTaldom . Savyolovo has given its name to the line itself (theSavyolovsky Rail Terminal ), as well as its terminus and a number of related toponyms in Moscow (Savyolovskaya Metro station, Savyolovsky market, etc.).In the northern direction (i.e. opposite to Moscow direction) the railway serves mostly rural locations in
Tver Oblast andYaroslavl Oblast . These are two railway branches:
* Savyolovo –Kashin –Sonkovo –Vesyegonsk ;
* Savyolovo –Kalyazin –Uglich .External links
