Main railway line
The line east from Moscow runs through the middle of town, a straight, uninterrupted stroke that explains both the name of the place and its layout.

The map
Zheleznodorozhnyy grew around a station on the main railway running east from Moscow, and its name simply means "railway". On a map the line cuts straight through the town, and the districts on either side are arranged around it: Soviet-era microdistricts of large apartment blocks with open courtyards, older low-rise streets closer to the station, and patches of forest pressing in at the edges.
The station was once called Obiralovka, and it is there that Tolstoy set the final scene of Anna Karenina. In 2015 the town was merged into neighbouring Balashikha, so today it forms part of a larger city, although its own street pattern and station area remain easy to pick out.
A Zheleznodorozhnyy map poster shows the typical rhythm of the Moscow suburbs: the strong line of the railway, the geometric footprints of apartment blocks, and the soft, irregular shapes of woodland between them. In black and white, the courtyards and forest clearings read as a pattern of light and dark spaces.
The line east from Moscow runs through the middle of town, a straight, uninterrupted stroke that explains both the name of the place and its layout.
Large apartment blocks enclose wide courtyards, producing repeating rectangles and open spaces that are typical of late Soviet planning around Moscow.
Woodland surrounds the built-up area and slips between districts, leaving irregular blank shapes that soften the strict geometry of the housing estates.

Why Zheleznodorozhnyy
For residents who still call it Zheleznodorozhnyy, rather than Balashikha, this print keeps the old name on the wall. It also appeals to readers who know the station from the last pages of Anna Karenina.
