The '''Avenza-Carrara railway''' was a short line connecting the center of Carrara with the localiyt of Avenza, now falling in the same municipality, on which there was and still there is a station of the [[Genoa-Pisa railway]]. Opened in [[1866]], the line constituted later an element of the [[Carrara Private Marble railway]]; after the closure of the latter it remained in service as goods connection until the closure to traffic in [[1969]]. The definitive suppression was established by Decree of the President of the Republic no. 1459 of 28 December [[1970]]. |

|||
The construction of the line began on July 17, [[1863]] following the decision of the Minister of Public Works, just two months after the inauguration of the station of Avenza.<ref>[http://books.google.it/books?id=BQl9iH8Lki4C&pg=PA279&dq=Ferrovia+Avenza-Carrara&hl=it&sa=X&ei=kYfyUvLDL8biywPN7IGwDw&ved=0CDAQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Ferrovia%20Avenza-Carrara&f=false Atti organici della Società anonima delle strade ferrate romane, decreto del 17 luglio 1863 del ministro dei lavori pubblici]</ref> |

It was officially inaugurated on September 10, [[1866]] curated by the [[Società per le strade ferrate dell'Alta Italia]].<ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.trenidicarta.it/aperture.html| title=Chronological overview of the features of railway opened to the exercise from 1839 to December 31, 1926| publisher=Alessandro Tuzza| year=1927| accessdate=30 June 2009| archiveurl =http://www.trenidicarta.it <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archivedate = 1997}}</ref> |

In [[1876]] the station of Carrara became passing, with the opening of the railroad Marmifera heading toward the quarries of marble of Colonnata, which exploited the pre-existing connection to transfer the goods to the station of Avenza and, hence, to the port of Carrara. |
|||
The line was involved in the trafficking of Anderlino bridge with two arches by a bombing in 1945 that destroyed the latter. Following this event the bridges were rebuilt.<ref>Lucio Benassi, [http://www.carraraonline.com/ponti-di-anderlino-.html Articolo sui Ponti di Anderlino] in carraraonline.com, 18 aprile 2013</ref> |
|||
With the conventions of [[1885]] the railway line was ceded to the [[Rete Mediterranea]] before moving in [[1905]] to the newly formed [[Ferrovie dello Stato]], which kept it in operation until [[1969]]. The official suppression was established by Decree of the President of the Republic no. 1459 December 28, 1970.<ref>Decree of the President of the Republic of [http://www.normattiva.it/uri-res/N2Ls?urn:nir:stato:decreto.presidente.repubblica:1970-12-28;1459!vig= 28 December 1970, no. 1459], in the field of "''Suppression of the railway line Carrara Avenza-Carrara St. Martino.''"</ref> |

== Technical characteristics == |

4.499 kilometers long, the line branched off from the west side compared to the passenger building of Avenza railway station, later called Carrara-Avenza and, dealt a curve detected and bypassed the [[:it:Strada statale 1 Via Aurelia|Aurelia]], it pointed towards the center of the town of marble. |
|||
The terminus was located at the coeval station of Carrara San Martino, so named for its efforts in this regard by the carrarese general Domenico Cucchiari, renaissance fighter who had distinguished himself at the Battle of San Martino. |
|||
Along the way there were some booths, one of which is identified in Agricola street no. 121. |
|||
== Traffic == |
|||
If the freight traffic was to characterize the line, thanks to the connection of the Marmifera railway and to the freight station of St. Martino which itself acted as a collector for some stone industries, to it was also summed up in the early times of operation, the passengers traffic. The latter in [[1933]] consisted of 4 pairs of mixed FS trains employing 18 minutes to connect the two locations.<ref>Orario Generale Italia, Luglio 1933, ristampa in esemplari numerati, Éditions du Cabri, 1984.
