The Ferrara – Rimini railway is a 123-kilometer line between Ferrara and Rimini in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna . It is owned by the FS infrastructure company Rete Ferroviaria Italiana , and operations are carried out by Ferrovie Emilia Romagna and Trenitalia .

history

The first section of the line, the 33-kilometer section between Ferrara and Argenta , went into operation on December 31, 1883. On September 1 of the following year, the line between Ravenna and Cervia was opened to traffic. This route was extended on July 4, 1886 by one station to Cesenatico . The link between the two sections, the Argenta – Ravenna section, was put into operation on January 10, 1889, and the line between Cesenatico and Rimini went into operation on the same day.

In 1978 the line was electrified with 3000 volts DC.

In 2002 the Emilia-Romagna region bought numerous lines and train connections from Ferrovie dello Stato and bundled them in Ferrovia Emilia-Romagna (FER). This also includes the train services between Ferrara and Ravenna.

In 2006, the Aleotti stop went into operation in Ferrara, but in 2011 the Ferrara Porta Reno station was closed.

traffic

The route is operated by FER and Trenitalia. In long-distance traffic, it is only used by a daily pair of InterCityNotte trains and a few Eurostar Italia trains that connect Ravenna with Rome . Long-distance trains stop in Ravenna and Rimini. Otherwise it is mainly used for regional traffic. However, there are no direct trains between Ferrara and Rimini. The Ferrara – Rimini section is the responsibility of the FER, the southern section between Ravenna and Rimini of the Trenitalia. The Trenitalia connects some of the train routes via Rimini to Pesaro and via Ravenna to Bologna Centrale . The latter is therefore an alternative to the main Rimini – Bologna route via Forlí.

meaning

The southern section between Ravenna and Rimini is particularly important for tourism. Here the route runs along the Adriatic coast and connects seaside resorts such as Viserba , Bellaria , Gatteo a Mare or Cesenatico to the national rail network, and the regional trains in Rimini are also linked to national long-distance transport.
