Rail connections and capacity

Trieste Central Station is on the Venice – Trieste – Opicina line and is the terminus of the Venice – Udine – Trieste line. The terminus has nine tracks and is used by around six million passengers annually.

history

The current rail transport network in the city of Trieste is essentially based on railway lines from the old Austrian administration. The Austrian railway company kk Südliche Staatsbahn (SStB) reached Trieste after bridging the Semmering on July 27, 1857 and established the connection between Vienna and Trieste. The connection of Trieste to the main axis of the Austrian Southern Railway led to an economic upswing in the largest and most important port city of the Austrian monarchy and strengthened its position in the Habsburg Empire. On September 23, 1858, the SStB was sold to the Südbahngesellschaft (privatization), as a result of which the Vienna – Trieste route merged into a huge railway network.

Trieste Centrale is the current name of the station of the former southern line , which was built on heaped land and was the terminus of the Vienna – Trieste line. The current station building was planned and built in 1878 by the German-Austrian architect and construction director of the Austrian Southern Railway Company, Wilhelm von Flattich , and inaugurated on June 19 of the same year.

Trivia
