Info

Avezzano is a railway station in Avezzano, Italy. The station opened in 1888 and is located on the Rome–Sulmona–Pescara railway and Avezzano-Roccasecca railway. The train services are operated by Trenitalia.


Exposed as a monument at the station is the locomotive called Monte Velino (number 8), one of the ten used by Alessandro Torlonia to transport beet from Fucino to the sugarbeet factory. The engine was placed on a track specially made in front of Villa Torlonia on the occasion of the celebrations related to the centenary of the 1915 earthquake. This locomotive is considered one of the symbols of post-earthquake Avezzano.
