Sassari Railway Station

Sassari is the main railway station of the Italian city of Sassari, the second largest city of Sardinia. It is owned by the Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), the National rail company of Italy, and also by the Ferrovie della Sardegna (FdS).

 

The station was inaugurated in 1884, when the FS line from Cagliari was completed.

 

Located in the north-western side of the city and in front of the downtown, the large station building has 3 floors. In front of it, since 2006, is located a tram stop of the new metro-tramway line. Track gauge used in the station is mainly standard (1,435) and partly narrow (950 mm). Narrow gauge is used by the 3 lines owned by the FdS. 3 Terminal tracks, used by FdS trains, are located in north of the building. After the 3 passerby tracks served by platforms, there are other 4 tracks used for freight traffic.
