Mediterranea-Calabro-Lucane
In 1910 the company received a concession to build a branch line network in southern Italy. In 1915 the company changed its name to Società Mediterranea per le Ferrovie Calabro Lucane (short Mediterranea-Calabro-Lucane MCL). In 1926 the network was reduced to the routes that had already begun and in 1934 construction work was stopped entirely. 765 kilometers of the dismembered network were in operation. After the railway accident at Fiumarella in 1963, the MCL's concession was revoked and given to Ferrovie Calabro Lucane . In the 1970s, Mediterranea withdrew completely from rail operations with the sale of Ferrovie Nord.
