Railway Stations Opened In 1858
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer faciliti ...

Railway Stations In Milan
Milan has 23 railway stations in use today. Of these, 18 are managed by RFI, while the remaining 6 are operated by Ferrovienord. Three more stations are currently under construction or in the planning stage for the city area: ''Canottieri'', ''Dergano'' and ''Zama''. History of rail transport in Milan In the huge explosion of rail transport in the 19th century, Milan was one of the places that invested in the development of this type of transport. In the late 1830s, Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria granted "the privilege to build a road on iron rails from Milan to Monza" to the ''Holzhammer'' company of Bolzano. The privilege authorized the construction of a railway project developed by the Milanese engineer Giulio Sarti. The Milan–Monza railway, opened in 1840, was the first railway line in Lombardy, and the second in Italy after the Naples–Portici railway. Milan's first railway station, Porta Nuova, formed part of the new railway. It was placed outside the circle of rampa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Quarto Oggiaro
Quarto Oggiaro (; lmo, Quart Oggiee ) is a district of Milan in the north-west of the city. It belongs to Zone 8, and has a population of 35000 inhabitants. Name The name Quarto Oggiaro derives from the ancient toponymy ''Quarto Uglerio'': the word ''Quarto'', meaning fourth, is a clear reference to the distance of four Roman miles from the center of Milan; while the second part of the name, ''Uglerio'', is supposed to be the name of some influent inhabitant of the area in ancient times. The transformation from Uglerio to Oggiaro can be found on the city maps of 1872, but it can be already seen on some maps of the Spanish period.
