Mortara–Milan railway

The railway line Milan - Mortara is a standard gauge railway line in Italy.

The route Mortara Vigevano was opened on 24 August 1854. The goal was to connect the city of Vigevano to the Piedmont rail network.

The Kingdom of Sardinia wanted to connect the city of Milan, which was in the Kingdom of Lombardy - Venetia at that time, with its port city of Genoa. The Austrian government refused to do so, however. It was planned for the Italian Central train that was to connect Milan with the Tuscan port of Livorno.

The Milan- Vigevano in 1864, after the unification of Italy, licensed to Società Vittorio Emanuele, was due to financial problems but still initially unrealized. The track was later licensed to the SFAI and opened by that company on January 17, 1870 .. However, it was used only for local traffic because Milan was in 1862 connected with Genoa over Pavia, Torreberetti and Alessandria.

1885 went the distance on the Rete Mediterranea, in 1905 it was taken over by the Ferrovie dello Stato.

2009, the section from Milan to Albairate was expanded to double track; at the same time two new breakpoints were put into operation and the existing stations rebuilt. The section was traveled from 2011 of the S9 line of the S -Bahn system.
