History

The line was opened by the FNM on 1 June 1898 between Saronno and Grandate; the last part, from Grandate to Como Lago, had already been opened on 24 September 1885 as part of the demolished Como–Varese railway.[1]

gollark: Perhaps it could be argued that generics are the natural state of things somehow, and simpler than no generics.
gollark: Oh, wait, this is easy. Anarchoprimitivism is derived from anarchism, i.e. the particularly "bee hierarchies" bit of leftism. I can reuse left-justification.
gollark: I'll think about this.
