The Milan – Mortara railway line is a standard-gauge railway line in Italy .

The Mortara – Vigevano line was opened on August 24, 1854. The aim was to connect the city of Vigevano to the Piedmontese railway network.

The Kingdom of Sardinia wanted to connect the city of Milan , which was then part of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Veneto , with its port city of Genoa . However, the Austrian government refused to do so. The Italian Central Railway was planned to connect Milan with the Tuscany port of Livorno .

The Milan – Vigevano route was licensed to the Società Vittorio Emanuele in 1864 after the unification of Italy, but was initially unrealized due to financial problems. The line was later licensed to the SFAI and opened by this company on January 17, 1870. However, it was only used for local traffic because Milan had been connected to Genoa via Pavia , Torreberetti and Alessandria as early as 1862 .

In 1885 the line was incorporated into the Rete Mediterranea , in 1905 it was taken over by the Ferrovie dello Stato .

In 2009 the section from Milan to Albairate was expanded to two tracks; At the same time, two new stops were put into operation and the existing stations were rebuilt. The section was used from 2011 by the S9 line of the S-Bahn system .
