Imperia Porto Maurizio railway station (Italian: Stazione di Imperia Porto Maurizio) was one of two stations serving the city and comune of Imperia, in Liguria, northwestern Italy. Opened in 1872, it formed part of the Genoa–Ventimiglia railway, and was situated just over two thirds along the way from Genoa towards Ventimiglia. It was replaced on 11 December 2016, along with Imperia's other former railway station, Imperia Oneglia, 2.2 kilometres (1.4 mi) to the east, by a new inland station, simply named Imperia, situated on a new double-track line replacing the old coastal route.^[1]

The station was managed by Rete Ferroviaria Italiana (RFI), however, the commercial area of the passenger building was managed by Centostazioni. Train services to and from the station were operated by Trenitalia. Each of these companies is a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato (FS), Italy's state-owned rail company.

Location

Imperia Porto Maurizio railway station was situated in Piazza Caduti sul Lavoro, near the centre of the city.

Features

The passenger building has two storeys. Only the ground floor was open to the public. The building is made of brick, painted brown, and has nine single-light windows with round arches accompanied by cornices.

The station once had a goods yard with an adjoining goods shed. However, the goods yard had since been dismantled and replaced by a parking lot for RFI and Trenitalia employees, and the goods shed had been converted to storage. The architecture of the former goods shed is very similar to that of other Italian railway stations.

There is also a small one-storey building that housed the station chapel. All of the station buildings are rectangular in shape.

The station yard comprises three tracks. Each of them has a platform sheltered by a canopy. The platforms are connected by an underpass.

Passenger and train movements

The station had about 600,000 passenger movements each year.^[2] It was served by both regional and InterCity trains. The main destinations of passengers embarking at the station were Ventimiglia, Genoa and Milano Centrale.
