Colico railway station
railway station in Italy
Colico railway station is a railway station in Italy. Located on the Tirano–Lecco railway (with trains also to and from Milano Centrale) and the Colico-Chiavenna railway, it serves the town of Colico.
Construction
The station building is a two-storey structure - of which the ground floor is usable by travellers - painted yellow. The structure of the building is very simple, with seven arches and a rectangular plan.
Next to the station building is another building, a smaller two-storey structure that houses the station's bar.
The service area has three main tracks and two truncated tracks, the latter being used for the Colico-Chiavenna line. All tracks are served by platforms at the standard European height of 55 centimetres.
There are fifteen tracks in total.
The station underwent upgrading works that involved the installation of a modern platform roof made of steel and glass, repainting of the station and the underpass and the installation of new loudspeakers inside the station (atrium and waiting hall); the works were begun in 2012 and finished in 2016.
Train Services
Train services consist of regionale and RegioExpress trains, provided by Trenord according to the contract of service stipulated by the Lombardy Region.

Why this record matters
The phrase “railway station in Italy” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3969450. Authority coordinates are 46.138, 9.375. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2012 and 2016.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
