History

It was established on 1 July 1865 with 1,057.5 miles (1,701.9 km) of line it acquired from the state railway of the Kingdom of Sardinia (Piedmont) (453.5 miles (729.8 km)), the part of the state railway of the former Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia (604 miles (972 km)) that had been absorbed into the Kingdom of Italy in 1859 after the Second Italian War of Independence and some other private railways. At its establishment, it included the Turin–Genoa, the Fréjus line, the Turin–Milan, Milan–Chiasso, Milan–Domodossola, Milan–Bologna and the Bologna–Pistoia lines.[1] After Austria's defeat in the Third Italian War of Independence in 1866, the railways of the Veneto (amounting to 230 miles (370 km)), including the Milan–Venice line, were transferred to the SFAI.[2] On 1 July 1885 its network was taken over by the Rete Mediterranea (Mediterranean Network) and the Rete Adriatica (Adriatic Network), with lines generally west of Milan going to the Rete Mediterranea.[3]

gollark: There was one bot which appeared to be harvesting messages and posting them elsewhere by webhook, although that MAY have been an actual mistake.
gollark: Some.
gollark: Interesting.
gollark: Also, are you one of those bot developers who uses their bot to randomly get server invites?
