History

The train station of Coccaglio [1] is a historic building. This station is still in service, connecting Coccaglio to most of the surrounding cities directly. The history of the station starts when in the 1850s it was installed as a stop om the Milano-Venezia railroad. In 1878 a new direct connection was made at a station in Rovato, the town bordering with Coccaglio on the East. This new connection turned the stop at the Station in Coccaglio into a local railroad stop.
