Gela is the main railway station of the Italian city of Gela, in the Province of Caltanissetta, Sicily. It is owned by the Ferrovie dello Stato, the national rail company of Italy.
The current station was inaugurated in 1977, substituting the original 1891 station, inaugurated after the opening of the line from Syracuse station. The new, larger station, was built in the north of the city when the site of the old station was repurposed by a road construction project. 4th century BC artefacts were found during the works.[2]
The station is not electrified.[3] and served by regional trains. It is connected to Ragusa, Syracuse, Catania, Palermo, Caltagirone, Canicattì, Licata, Caltanissetta and periodically to Agrigento and. Only the line to Syracuse is still open for passenger trains. The other lines are only used by freight trains. Back in the 1990s there was a long-distance connection to Rome and Naples by the 'Rome-Ragusa' Express.
In the town there are also two halts: Gela Anic serves the ANIC petrolchemical factory; Gela Lago, closed, is located near the Biviere di Gela nature reserve. Two other halts within the municipal boundaries, Piana del Signore and Priolo Sottano, are out of service.
