Madignano railway station is a railway station serving the town and comune of Madignano in the region of Lombardy, Northern Italy. The single-platform halt is located on the Treviglio–Cremona railway.
History
[edit]When the Treviglio–Cremona line was being constructed in the early 1860s, among the approximately 50 municipalities whose territories would have been affected by the infrastructure, only four assumed a hostile attitude to the development. Among these was Madignano, which had just suffered heavy burdens from the construction of an oratory (already abandoned by 1856) and a new road to neighboring Castelleone.[2] The railway nevertheless reached the comune in 1862 without any station being built.[3]
A railway halt was proposed by the municipal administration in 1993, with feasibility studies beginning that year.[4] While there was initially some controversy in planning the new station with Italy's national railway holding company Ferrovie dello Stato, the comune was eventually granted a definitive construction permit at the end of 1995. The official inauguration took place on September 15, 1996,[5] with the use of a historic train formed by an FS Class 740 steam locomotive with tender and three vintage carriages.
