Savyolovsky Rail Terminal, alternatively spelled Savyolovskiy, Savelovsky or Savelovskiy, is one of the nine rail terminals in Moscow. It serves suburban directions north of the city. The station was built during 1897–1902, connecting Kashin, Kalyazin, Uglich, and Rybinsk covering a distance of 130 km. This terminal is named after a village Savyolovo, now a district of the town of Kimry, situated on the line. Initially known as Butyrsky Terminal, it has a central two-story section flanked by two single story wings. The station was inaugurated spring 1902. During the celebration of its 90th anniversary, a second floor was added to the building and quality of platforms was improved. It was the last station to be connected to the Moscow Metro, with the Savyolovskaya metro station opening in 1988. The station operates only suburban trains. The principal destinations are Dolgoprudny, Lobnya, Iksha, Dmitrov, Taldom, Savyolovo and Dubna. While most trains arriving from the north terminate there, some trains proceed to the Belorussky Terminal and in the western direction. There is a bus terminal in front of the station serving Dubna, Savyolovo, Kalyazin, Kashin and some other northern destinations.
