Kursky railway station, Railway terminal at Zemlyanoy Val Street, Moscow, Russia
Kursky railway station is a terminal at Zemlyanoy Val Street in Moscow, serving nine platforms with seventeen tracks. The halls extend across several levels, with waiting areas and passages leading to the trains.
The terminal opened in 1896 following plans by Georgi Voloshinov and was part of the route to Kursk and further south. Major renovations followed in 1938 and 1972, which expanded the space and added new facades.
The name comes from the city of Kursk, an important stop on the network. The building shows elements from several construction periods, from classical arches to Soviet glass panels.
Three metro lines offer direct connections to the interior of the terminal, making access from different parts of the city easier. The neighboring Atrium shopping center can be reached through a glass tunnel and provides additional shops and services.
Trains depart from the same terminal in opposite directions: south through Kursk and northeast through Nizhny Novgorod. Over 300 departures are handled daily, one of the highest frequencies in the Moscow rail system.
