Peschiera del Garda railway station (it|Stazione di Peschiera del Garda) serves the town and comune of Peschiera del Garda, in the region of Veneto, northern Italy. Opened in 1854, it forms part of the Milan–Venice railway.
The station is currently managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company. The train services are operated by Trenitalia and Trenord.
Peschiera del Garda railway station is situated in Piazzale Stazione, on the eastern bank of the Mincio River, to the east of the town centre on the western bank.
The station was opened on 22 April 1854, together with the Verona–Brescia–Coccaglio section of the Milan–Venice railway.[1] [2] Between 1859 and 1866, it was a transit station between the international network of the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia and that of the Kingdom of Sardinia/Italy.[3]
From 1934 to 1967, the station was adjacent to another station, the FMP station, which was the terminus of a line from Mantua.
The station has a large three storey passenger building. At ground level, there is a main entrance protected by an arched portico, and inside are the usual services to travellers. The upper two levels are used for offices and private residences.[4]
Three tracks pass through the station yard. Each of the outer tracks, one for each direction, is faced by a platform equipped with a wrought iron canopy. The platforms are connected with each other, and with the passenger building, by elevators and a pedestrian underpass. The inside track is used for any crossings or overtaking.[4]
In the goods yard is a goods shed now used for storage. The tracks in the goods yard have been removed and replaced with a parking lot. Other tracks are used for storage of line maintenance equipment.[4]
