Below I have provided some photos illustrating suburban trains that run in Russia. They usually travel between suburban stations (places) at short distances (compared to distances between big cities like St. Petersburg and Moscow).
In Russia we call them "electrical trains", if literally translated. What phrases or words would you suggest for calling them in English? Trains? Suburban trains?
Some key photos related to my question are given below:

The last link illustartes a special type of a train called "Lastochka" (Eng. "Swallow"). Such trains can also run between big cities. A few days ago I traveled from St. Petersburg to Moscow and back by "Lastochka".
P.S. The trains I am asking about are often used by people who travel to their countryside places.
