Cassina de' Pecchi is a suburban station on Line 2 of the Milan Metro in the municipality of the same name.
The station was opened in 1968, as a stop on the Milan-Gorgonzola fast tramway line.[2] Since 4 December 1972 the section from Cascina Gobba to Gorgonzola, where this station is located, was connected to Milan Metro Line 2 and operates as part of it ever since.[3] [4]
The station has two covered platforms and two tracks. It is located on the approximately 144 meters long viaduct across the Martesana channel.[5] The viaduct was designed by engineer Silvano Zorzi.[6] The passenger building is located in a sort of mezzanine integrated into the structure, under the tracks at the western end of the platforms.[5]
