The Moscow-Kazan High-Speed Railway is a 770-kilometre long high-speed railway line connecting the two major cities of Moscow and Kazan in the Russian Federation,[1] going through the intermediate cities of Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod and Cheboksary.[2] The project, currently being designed with an expected completion date of 2020, is slated to be the first segment of an ambitious transnational high-speed railway set to connect Beijing and Moscow over a distance in excess of 7,000 kilometres, which is currently under consideration by the governments of Russia and China.[3]
