The Warsaw–Grodzisk Mazowiecki railway is a 30 kilometer long, double-tracked, electrified suburban railway line connecting Warszawa Zachodnia station in Warsaw with Grodzisk Mazowiecki railway station in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. The line is designated by the Polish national railway infrastructure manager PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe as rail line number 447.
It runs along the long-distance Warsaw–Katowice line, extending the suburban tracks of the Warsaw Cross-City line westward. The line is dedicated for use by local traffic, however both lines are technically capable of carrying all types of trains, effectively forming a four track rail corridor running roughly East-West through the center of the Warsaw metropolitan area.
