Saronno–Como railway is a railway line in Lombardy, Italy.

It is one of the three continuations of the Milan-Saronno railway.

History

The line was opened by the FNM on 1 June 1898 between Saronno and Grandate; the last part, from Grandate to Como Lago, had already been opened on 24 September 1885 as part of the demolished Como–Varese railway.[1]
