Catanzaro, commonly known as Catanzaro Sala for the position in Sala quarter and due to the name of the adjacent FC station, is a railway station of the Italian city of Catanzaro, in Calabria region. Owned by the Ferrovie dello Stato it is one of the main stations of the city along with Catanzaro Lido. In 2008 a new Catanzaro station, colloquially known as ''Catanzaro Germaneto'', has been inaugurated in the suburban quarter of Germaneto on a new bypass of FS line.〔 (Document about the bypass line of Catanzaro )〕 Due for this reason the old station was closed for FS services, but not for the suburban railway owned by FC. ==History== The station was opened on July 31, 1899 as part of a line that linked the centre of the city to the Jonian (serving Catanzaro Lido) and the Tyrrhenian (serving Lamezia Terme Centrale) lines. On July 10, 1933 it was inaugurated the adjacent Catanzaro Sala station, owned by the ''Ferrovie della Calabria'' (FC) and part of the Cosenza-Catanzaro Lido line. In 1998 it was re-opened a funicular built in 1910 and operating still 1954.〔 (Infos on Ferrovie della Calabria website )〕 The funicular was built to link the central station to the city centre crossing the height difference (154.60 m). Few years later funicular's re-opening it started operating a suburban rail service on the FC line, colloquially named ''Metropolitana di Catanzaro''〔 (Article and infos on Catanzaro municipal website )〕 (''Catanzaro Subway''), also due to the elevated number of train stops in the city. After the closure in 2008 the FS station was abandoned. Some projects, as the one to use the old line to Lido, have been considered. In latest 2009 it was announced a project, named "''Pendolo''", to link it to the new ''Germaneto'' station with a furure line.〔 (Announcement of FC official site ) (see the section "09 ottobre 2009")〕〔 (Article about the "''Pendolo''" on "Metropolitana di Catanzaro" website )〕 This project has been considered as a possibility to the new station to have a link to the hub of the suburban rail service; and this new junction may be part of it as a second line.〔Searched on Google: (A map of the possible extension of the suburban railway )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catanzaro railway station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
