Regarding the recently reverted move to "Moscow Circle Railway" performed by user:Elk Salmon is because the forming of a new company which operates the new railway. It has an official site [1] with English version [2] and uses "Moscow Ring Railway" (MRR) for the company's English name. I am open to splitting the article. -- Sameboat - 同舟 ( talk · contri.) 08:19, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
The official maps of the Moscow Metro, those found on trains and at stations, have the name in English as Moscow Ring Railway. We should rename the article, because now there is an official English spelling widely published on the Moscow Metro itself.
(Finding online versions of the maps pasted on the train walls is harder than it should be, but here is a low-res version that shows the line as Moscow Ring Railway. [3]) Ingafube ( talk) 21:04, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
If you do not fancy a split, then there is no stopping of renaming this article to the new official name. -- Sameboat - 同舟 ( talk · contri.) 15:31, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Moved. The single oppose vote says "too few sources at the moment to determine the most common English usage", yet sources are clearly found in the support vote at the bottom. In particular, the Moscow metro map and the Moscow Times article suggest the proposed name is common in English, and no solid evidence is presented to the contrary.

Expand the diagram at the bottom of MKZD site [25] and you can see this line is designated as "line 15" instead of "14". I don't know how Russian Wikipedians think of this, but I always hesitate to number-code any Moscow railway line before its inauguration due to the conflicting sources [26]. -- Sameboat - 同舟 ( talk · contri.) 10:19, 9 July 2016 (UTC)
This becoming too messy. This article should stay for historical line built in 1907 and for modern freight operations of Russian Railways on 3rd track. Metro service on scratch built tracks 1, 2 and stations should be moved out to separate article. Elk Salmon ( talk) 02:08, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
As a reader with no knowledge of this railway, I think it would be nice to see more information about this line in order to understand it. (1) A comment here seems to say there are 3 tracks, 2 new ones for passengers and one old one for freight; what are the facts? (2) Was there really passenger service for a while? Was it with only one track? What happened to the stations during the century of freight-only service? (3) What was the need for freight service in a ring railway? Is there some particular reason that could clarify this? (4) It would be reasonable to mention the outer ring railway in this article to provide context. E.g., when was that built? Did it ever carry passengers? Those are just 4 simple questions that occur to me. I don't know if it's easy to answer them! Zaslav ( talk) 04:56, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
