Lombard-Venetian railways
The Lombard-Venetian Railways comprise several railway companies in the former Austrian part of Italy .
Railways Milan – Monza and Milan – Monza – Como
As the first railway line in the Lombardy-Venetian kingdom, Milan - Monza was opened by the IR priv. Strada Ferrata da Milano a Monza on August 17, 1840. The 13 km long route is the second oldest railway in the former Austria-Hungary .
In 1846 the Milan – Monza railway merged with the Milan – Monza – Como railway, which opened up the same area .
On March 19, 1851, the said railways were bought up by the state and formed part of the Lombard-Venetian State Railways .
Lombard-Venetian Ferdinand Railway (LVF)
The kk priv. Lombard-Venetian Ferdinand Railway was founded in 1837 to build a railway connection between Milan and Venice . Although the company soon got into financial difficulties, the lagoon bridge to Venice was opened on January 11, 1846. This 3,602.18 m long structure is considered to be one of the most important in early continental European railway construction. The two-track bridge also carries an aqueduct, which made Venice independent of the previously only possible water supply by means of cisterns .
The Verona – Venice and Milan – Treviglio lines were opened by 1852 .
On June 9, 1852, the LVF was bought by the state and thus formed the second part of the Lombard-Venetian state railway .
Lombard-Venetian State Railways (LVStB)
The Lombard-Venetian State Railway was created through the nationalization of the Milan – Monza and Milan – Monza – Como railways (1851) and the Lombard-Venetian Ferdinand Railway (1852).
As early as July 1, 1856, the company was reprivatised as a kk priv. Lombard-Venetian and central-Italian railway company .
Lombard-Venetian and Central-Italian Railway Company (LVCI)
The kk priv. Lombard-Venetian and Central-Italian Railway Company was created in 1856 through privatization from the Lombard-Venetian State Railway .
It merged with the newly founded Southern Railway Company on September 23, 1858 .
Strade Ferrate dell'Alta Italia (SFAI)
When Austria lost control of Northern Italy (Veneto, Lombardy) as a result of the war in 1866, large parts of the Southern Railway Company's route network lay in the new Kingdom of Italy . The southern railway company was divided. The newly founded Strade Ferrate dell'Alta Italia (SFAI) took over the Italian route network of the Southern Railway Company as well as other parts of the Southern Railway assets in Italy, especially the vehicle fleet. In turn, it went over to the Rete Adriatica in 1885 and became part of the Italian state Ferrovie dello Stato together with this in 1905 .
